It is with great sadness that we let you know that Dr. Larry Levy PhD of Columbia, MD died of a stroke at John's Hopkins Hospital on April 21, 2008 at the age of 65.

He attended the General Motors Institute (now Kettering University in Flint, MI) where he received a bachelor's degree on a full scholarship. He received his master's degree from Marquette University in Milwaukee in 1967 and a doctorate degree in electrical engineering from Iowa State University in 1971 where he studied under Dr. R. Grover Brown.

With John's Hopkins Applied Physics Lab in Laurel, MD since 1971, his last position was as a chief scientist in the Strategic Systems Department. He was a well respected graduate level teacher in his field of Kalman filtering for the John's Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering and as a lecturer with NavtechGPS for 20 years.

Larry Levy was an exuberant, masterful teacher, keeping his students on their toes even through his 4 1/2 day Kalman course with us here at NavtechGPS. 
Larry, you are missed!
