Passing of Bruce Levison (Tefflon rocketry)
Hello all-
It was a trip in getting here. My name is Andrew Kleinhenz.
I am a good friend of Dr. Bruce Levison. I know he posts a lot on this forum.
I am sorry to tell you that he passed away this morning. He was taken by COVID 19.
I can go on and on about how generous he was. he was instrumental in encouraging me to return to my science career and helped me do so. He and I launched together often here in Ohio. We have our own little field we would often go to. He was a master modeler and loved this hobby with all his heart. He kept his patience while managing scores of cub scouts. He was a guru of RockSim. He even "simmed" my Level 2 rocket. He opened his workshop to me and we often spent afternoons together working on our projects. He was kind-he was our friend. I will miss his endless knowledge of model rocket history. I will miss his friendship.
I will miss him terribly. Please pray for his wife Deb. Please pray for his family.
Andrew Kleinhenz.
