LEVY, Jerome J., Sr., a former owner of a fleet of taxicabs in Baltimore City, trading as "Diamond Cab" died October 21, 2018 of natural causes at Lorien Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, Riverside, Maryland. The longtime Baltimore City and Harford County resident was 96. Jerome Joseph Levy, Sr. was born in Baltimore on August 21, 1922 and raised on Whitelock Street near Druid Hill Avenue the son of Joseph Levy, a salesman and Caroline Shuster, a homemaker. A precocious child, he skipped the second grade while attending All Saints Catholic Elementary School in Baltimore. He was forced, in 1935 to leave school after completing the eighth grade in order to work to help support his family following the Great Depression, finding employment at the Lord Baltimore Hotel performing various jobs. In 1942 he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and was assigned to the submarine service following training at Great Lakes, Illinois and New London, Connecticut. Thereafter he was deployed to the South Pacific and saw Combat action in WW II. He qualified in USS S-37 in 1944, was a Plankowner in USS Chivo, and was TM2(SS) when Honorably discharged in 1945. He returned to Baltimore and in 1946 married the former Helen Catania. They initially lived on Milton Avenue in East Baltimore and in 1951 moved to Northwood where they raised five children. Following his discharge from naval service, Mr. Levy became a federal employee working for the U.S. Postal Service. Subsequently, he joined his two brothers-in-law and father-in-law in the taxicab business. He began as a cab driver and steadily rose to become a taxicab fleet owner in the Diamond Cab Association in Baltimore City. After some 35 years in the business he retired in 1987. He was a decades-long member of St. Mathew Roman Catholic Church in Northwood and was very active in the parish, volunteering for various lay activities in the church and as a member of the local Knights of Columbus. He enjoyed vacationing in Ocean City with his family, playing pinochle, and was an avid and very accomplished duckpin bowler having been a member of the St. Mathew and St. Joseph Fullerton bowling leagues for over 35 years. He greatly enjoyed sharing many, many pleasurable times with his family and working in his garden at his home in Harford County that he shared with his wonderful wife Helen, having moved there in 1982. He was an avid fan of the Orioles, Colts and Ravens and his favorite meal was steamed crabs and beer. His wife Hellen died in 2000. He was predeceased by two brothers, Edgar and Paul and a sister, Dorothy. He is survived by his 5 children Nancy (Frank) Forest Hill; Verna (Brent) Bel Air; Connie (Brian) Perry Hall; and Paul (Sylvia) of Copley, Ohio. Another son, Jerome J. Levy, Jr. (Phyllis) died in 2015. He is also survived by 12 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Family was everything to him and he will be sadly missed by all who had the good fortune to have known him. Published in Baltimore Sun on Nov. 7, 2018
