Remembering Neil Levin — September 11, 2001
Twenty-five years ago, on the morning of September 11, my friend Neil D. Levin, Executive Director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, was having breakfast at Windows on the World atop the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
Only minutes before American Airlines Flight 11 struck the building, colleagues had stopped at Neil's table to say goodbye and taken an elevator downstairs. Neil remained behind. He was just 46 years old.
He devoted much of his life to public service and finance — in Washington with Senator Al D'Amato, at the Federal Reserve, at Goldman Sachs, and later in senior positions in New York State government. Neil had a keen intellect, but one of his gifts was that he never needed to remind anyone of it.
One of the accomplishments Neil was most proud of was his work on behalf of Holocaust victims and their families. He became deeply involved in the effort to identify and recover assets that had been stolen, confiscated or withheld during the N**i era. The work required dealing with governments, banks and institutions across international borders and confronting injustices that had remained unresolved for more than half a century.
For Neil, it wasn't simply another assignment. It mattered deeply to him. He was enormously proud of helping to force institutions to confront the past and of seeking the return of assets to their rightful owners and heirs.
Senator Al D'Amato later said simply, “Neil was part of my family.” That says something about the kind of loyalty Neil inspired.
After Neil and I had both left government, he was at Goldman Sachs. He signed up with my firm as a client. It was a small gesture, perhaps, but one I have never forgotten. That was Neil. He showed up for his friends.
And then there was Christy Ferer, the great love of his life. Christy later remembered his “charm, a cool reserve with a cutting wit” and called Neil “the love of my life.” He adored Christy, embraced her children and loved the family life they shared.
