Carl Levi, who served his community, state and country as a civilian and in the armed forces, died Monday. He was 94.
The family refrained from announcing the death until all immediate family members had been notified, according to Levi’s obituary.
Levi rose in the military ranks from private to brigadier general, and in 2019 his name was added to Chattanooga’s National Guard Armory on Holtzclaw Avenue. His work for the city of Chattanooga and Hamilton County spanned the second half of the 20th century and into the 21st after originally being hired by then-Chattanooga Mayor Rudy Olgiati for what was supposed to be a six-week tenure.
“His service has been honorable and good,” a 2010 Chattanooga Free Press editorial said.
