FAIRFIELD, CT - (From Shaughnessy Banks Funeral Home) Morton Levinson, 89 of Fairfield, the beloved husband of the late Sally Levinson, died peacefully at home on Monday, May 17, 2021.
He was the only child of Samuel and Ethel (Klein) Levinson, who provided an amazing family life in the Black Rock section of Bridgeport. Sam & Ethel owned and operated Sam s Place a bar/restaurant where Ethel cooked and Sam ran the thriving bar. Mort spent much of his childhood days playing all kinds of sports with the neighborhood kids.
Mort served proudly in the United States Navy during the Korean War, where he ran electronics for the pilots on the aircraft carrier USS Kearsarge. He tried out and made the Navy s fast pitch softball team and played many competitive games while stationed in the Philippines.
The Danbury s Farmers Market is stronger today than it was yesterday thanks to a grant from the Fairfield County Community Foundation.
According to a press release issued by City Center on Wednesday (5/12/21), the agency recently gave the Farmers Market $13,250. That money will allow the Farmers Market to continue getting healthy food to families who may have difficulty accessing it.
Peggy Zamore is the Markets Program Director and had this to say of the generous grant: Over the past twelve years, the Fairfield County s Community Foundation has awarded the Danbury Farmers Market Community Collaborative about $300,000. This significant level of funding is hugely appreciated by the Collaborative and the Danbury Community. The goal is not just to provide subsistence food for calories, but nutritious high quality fresh food for health. Without Fairfield County s Community Foundation s continued support, our health-promoting incentive programs would simply not be possible.
