OBITUARY: MORTIMER LEVY
 October 29, 2019

​It is with sadness that we announce the death of Mortimer Levy, a long-time member of the Montreal Camera Club on Tuesday, October 29, 2019.   He was 91.  

Morty was a member of the club for many years, up until only several years ago, and was a very pleasant presence at the club, with a great sense of humour, a wonderful disposition, and a keen eye. He had a great love for life, a love that he shared with everyone. Morty’s wife Pearl is an excellent and established sculptor, and a frequent participant in art exhibitions, in which Morty also sometimes participated with his photography.

Morty’s other passion besides photography was sailing, where he and Pearl would often sail their sailboat around Lake Ontario and Lake Champlain, accompanied by other friends with their own sailboats. Morty also liked to compete in regattas.  He leaves behind a large and loving family who will miss him dearly
