Sheldon L. “Shelly” Levy ’52 PhD

Sheldon L. “Shelly” Levy ’52 PhD, of Lenexa, Kans.; May 12. In 1954, he was a director of mathematics and physics at Midwest Research Institute (now MRI Global) in Kansas City, Mo. He left MRI in 1968 to form his own firm, TransTech, which provided software and computing and consulting services to the food service industry. After selling his interest in TransTech, he joined the engineering firm of Black & Veatch as a professional engineer. He retired from Black & Veatch in 1990. Retirement afforded him time to participate in building homes with Habitat for Humanity and pursue his interest in model railroading. He was the recipient of the National Model Railroad Association’s 2019 Master Model Railroader. He is survived by two daughters, three sons, two daughters-in-law, a son-in-law, two grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, a sister, a brother, and a sister-in-law.
