Ted Levin

June 12, 1923 - April 6, 2020

Ted (Tada) Levin, 96, of St. Louis Park passed away on April 6, 2020. He was the youngest of 9 children and was preceded in death by his parents and siblings. He is survived by his loving wife of 73 years, Lorraine (Louie); children, Steve, Chuck (Lynn), Mike and Sharon (Nels): grandchildren, Sarah, Abe and Reva Levin; sister-in-law, Rosalie Greenspan; brother-in-law, Morrey Beider; and a large extended family. Ted loved growing up in the tight-knit Jewish community of north Minneapolis and proudly served in the U.S. Army during WWII. He was a tireless worker who started several businesses before finding lasting success and satisfaction mid-career. His work ethic and determination were imparted to all of his children, each of whom enjoy careers working in businesses they started. He loved to prepare his favorite foods of which his chopped liver was legendary. Ted and Lorraine spent 29 years living in Dallas, TX before returning to Minneapolis in 2007 to enjoy their retirement years surrounded by family and friends. Ted was an accomplished “armchair quarterback” and was an avid Minnesota sports fan who followed the Twins, Vikings, Timberwolves and Gophers. Ted, Louie and a variety of friends and relatives met for breakfast every Saturday morning at the Original Pancake House, a tradition that endured for many years, only ending a few weeks ago due to health concerns. Heartfelt thanks to his Doctor, Sam Dardick and the dedicated and loving caregivers from Independent Home Care Agency, Knollwood Place and Sholom Home Care.
