Family Members:
Nathan (Norman) Levine, 91
Former long-time Detroit resident Nathan (Norman) Levine, 91, passed away at his home in Henderson, NV on April 25, 2020.
Norman, known by his family and friends as Norm, Naty, Nateala, Nachman and Norman the TV Man, was born December 8, 1928 in Detroit to Isaak and Esther Levine.
Along with his contagious smile, he always went out of this way to help others giving him the nickname of “the mayor” by his own children, who had the greatest respect for him as a father.
He joined the Navy at 17 as a Radarman learning his technical skills that would allow him to be a jack of all trades. He worked for a Detroit area linen company for many years. When the workers went on strike, he began honing in on the skills he had learned in the Navy and became a television repairman, initially part time. After the strike was over, he went back and worked until his television business was booming. He was then known as“Norman the TV Man.”
Norman is survived by his wife Susan Watnick Levine; daughter E. Michèle (Levine) Samson and son-in-law Frank Samson; sonSteven Levine; step-daughters, Michelle Watnick Weber (Michael) and Erica Watnick Krause.
Sister, Dorothy Julia Ring and Brother Walter Max Levine, many nieces and nephews and cousins.
Grandchildren, Brooke Samson Miller (Jason Miller), Anthony Joseph Samson (Kelly Heos Samson), Eric Jordan Levine and Zachary Scott Levine, Peyton and Riley Weber and Justin, Aiden and Jonah Krause.
Great Grandchildren, Gisele (Gigi) and Pearl Miller, Benjamin (Benny), Daniel and Emilia Samson.
Preceded in death by his parents, Isaak and Esther (Goldberg) Levine and step-mother Betty Levine; former wife Gayle (Matz) Levine who is the mother of his children, Michèle and Steve.
