PERA Mourns the Loss of Bill Levy

On Monday, June 21, Bill Levy, a long-time PERA member and employee of U.S. Tool & Manufacturing, passed away after battling both colorectal cancer and lung cancer.

Levy had received the PERA Manufacturer of the Year Award at the 2003 PERA convention. He had also served on the board of directors, was the chairman of the membership committee and was the history committee chairman.

Bill was also the PERA golf tournament chairman for decades before finally turning it over to Ed Kiebler and then Fred Calouette. Because of his dedication to the golf tournament, the PERA board of directors have elected to name the golf tournament the “Bill Levy Memorial Golf Tournament.” A very appropriate tribute to a dedicated PERA member.

At this time, we have no information on services or burial.
