I'm sorry to never have known this man, but feel like I did, because of his daughter Debra's talk of him. She was very proud of his outgoing demeanor and brought his persona to me through her descriptions. He sounded like a wonderful man and I know he must have been because I DO know his lovely wife Alice and daughter Debra! May he rest in peace until they are reunited again! Condolences and hugs to all. With you in prayer ...

Our heart felt condolences to the Cordova family. We got to know Levi as customers. We miss him stopping by to sell rags. He always brought with him a smile and a funny story. God Bless Levi.

I am sorry for your loss. He was a great man. Whenever I was up at the Academy, he always had a smile and would talk with me. I know we was very well respected by the administration, coaches and players. He will be missed.

Our most sincere condolences to the family. Pee Wee had such a loving and generous spirit and his sense of humor was contagious. No matter what my day was like, I knew when I went down to football Pee Wee and I were going to have a good laugh together. He will be sorely missed. With that, my most love and respect.
