In Fond Memory of Art Levy
Art Levy, a co-founder of "The Starting Blocks", passed on September 4, 2007. He held the DPS record in the 100-yard dash at 9.6 and a record in the 220-yard dash of 20.9. A true athlete as well as a true friend. He would break all records running to your side when you needed him.
Family was his priority. He was always the one with the annoying cell phone in a meeting, or at the movies. If any of his children or grandchildren were in distress, the movie could wait, the meeting was over.
Art had a wonderful career working with children at Denver Parks and Rec. In his spare time, he ran track and field programs. In his spare, spare time he worked with individuals as a Shaklee Independent Distributor, hoping to "improve their game". He was a mentor to everyone he met. He was loved and cherished by everyone.
His 5 beautiful daughters, eleven grandchildren, and many more to come are left with his legacy.
We are honored to have known and worked with Art Levy. We wish all of you could have known this wonderful, gentle person. This blog is dedicated to Art Levy, and was begun in memory of him and his passion.
He will be greatly missed.

Art was my cool cat buddy. I would always introduce him as the fastest man in Colorado, and he would get embarrassed. He was a solid dude! I will miss him.
