Robert M. Levine, 81, of Pope Road in Windham died Saturday Nov. 20, 2010 at Maine Medical Center in Portland following a lengthy illness.

Family photo Robert M. Levine is shown last year in Florida, where he spent winters.

He used his love and knowledge of horses to teach hundreds of people how to ride.

"We had both been widowed twice before. And we both said we would never marry again," said his third wife, Jeannie Gilman Winslow Levine.

Born in Detroit, Mich., Mr. Levine moved to Portland when he was 3 years old. He attended Portland schools, graduating from Portland High School in 1947. During high school, Mr. Levine worked at the Tomlinson Riding School in Westbrook. He started out working in the stables, and ended up becoming a riding instructor. "That's where he got his love for horses," his wife said. "It grew on him." For a number of years, he was a riding instructor at Tomlinson as well as at Camp Walden in Denmark.

Mr. Levine met his first wife, Jane Winslow Levine, at Tomlinson. She died at the age of 37."Bob was left to raise three children, but he always made sure his family was taken care of," his wife said.

He eventually married Barbara Adde Levine. They lived at Laneway Farms in Standish, where they raised horses for many years. His second wife died in her late 60s.

Mr. Levine sold advertising space in the Yellow Pages while raising and training horses. He was awarded the top salesman award several times during his 32-year career with the telephone company.

"They liked his mannerisms, his calmness and his confidence," his wife said. Despite being promoted into management positions, Mr. Levine kept returning to his sales job. "They used to say he kept leaving management to carry the bag," his wife said.  "He really enjoyed meeting people."

In 1986, Mr. Levine retired to devote more time to raising horses. His show horse, King of Conowingo, was New England Five Gaited Champion for several years. He trained other championship horses and ponies.

He taught his three children to be successful horsemen, including his son David, who raises horses on his farm in Virginia.

Even in his retirement years, people would come up to Mr. Levine and remind him of the impact he had on their lives by teaching them to ride, his wife recalled. "Everybody loved Bob when they met him. He had this boisterous laugh that you never forget," she said.

Mrs. Levine met her husband in church. They were married July 12, 2003, at the North Windham Union Church, where they were introduced.

"I used to sit at one end of the pew and he at the other end. People started to take notice when we began looking at the hymn book together," his wife said. "He had a wonderful smile and was so kind and generous."

They spent their years together walking and camping, and visiting the Caribbean islands. They spent their winters at their home in St. Cloud, Fla.  After losing two spouses, neither Mr. Levine nor his wife had intended to marry a third time. "It was just meant to be," she said. "We got along great."

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Mr. Levine's memory can be made to the Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals. "He loved animals -- dogs, cats, you name it -- but especially horses," his wife said.

Virginia Barton, 82

Fought racism with soft voice and gentle smile

 LYNN - When a group of Gordon College students wanted to study the history of Lynn’s minority population, they had the privilege of learning from someone who not only knew it, but lived it.

Sometimes as many as 20 of those students would gather in Virginia Barton’s living room, sitting on the floor and literally learning at her feet. They listened to her stories and asked her questions. And they invariably left with significantly more knowledge than when they arrived.

Gordon acknowledged her invaluable contributions to the college in 2006 when it dedicated Barton Hall, a new residence hall in downtown Lynn for students participating in the Gordon in Lynn program. It was the latest in a series of honors bestowed on Mrs. Barton, recognizing a lifetime of dignified advocacy.

“Everything she did, she did in a gentle way,” said her son, Gordon “Buzzy” Barton. “She was always able to get her points across without being demeaning or belligerent.”

Mrs. Barton died at home Sunday after a lengthy illness. She was 82. A lifelong resident of Lynn, Virginia (Smith) Barton was born May 9, 1928. She attended Connery Elementary, Cobbet Junior High and Classical High, graduating in 1946. She took courses at Boston College, Boston University, Harvard, Salem State and UMass Boston.

Mrs. Barton worked from 1965-73 as a neighborhood and education coordinator for Lynn Economic Opportunity. She then spent more than 20 years as a Title I parent coordinator with Lynn Public Schools, retiring in 1995.

Throughout her life, Mrs. Barton worked tirelessly to combat racial and social injustice. She was a co-founder, president, treasurer and co-executive director of the Community Minority Cultural Center. She also served as president of the North Shore branch of the NAACP, co-chair of Citizens Against Racism and a board member of the Greater Lynn Racial Harmony Committee.

Mrs. Barton had experienced racism first-hand. In 1963 when a fire devastated her home, forcing the family to split up, she had difficulty finding new housing. In another instance, she had an art scholarship rescinded when those awarding it learned she was African-American.

 

Yet through the obstacles faced by her and those for whom she advocated, Mrs. Barton persevered, always with a smile.

She was once described in a Daily Item story as “A woman who has done more in the battle against racism and injustice than anyone in the city and has ‘fought’ with the most unlikely weapons — a gentle smile and soft voice.”

“She felt it was OK to disagree, but you don’t have to be disagreeable,” said her daughter, Patricia Barton. “She was very inclusive. She cared deeply about socioeconomic issues that affect all people.”

Mrs. Barton earned a host of accolades, including: the Jim Mountain Award from the Mass. Department of Education; the Outstanding Achievement Award from the Florence Luscomb Women’s Center at Salem State; the Clara Barton Humanitarian Award from the American Red Cross of Massachusetts Bay; the Distinguished Service Award from the Yankee Clipper Council of the Boy Scouts of America; and the Sallie Hacker Award from the Lynn Museum & Historical Society.

In addition to her son, Buzzy, and daughter, Patricia, Mrs. Barton is survived by her daughters, Barbara Barton, Roberta “Birdie” Davis, Donna Barton, Paulette Hartwell and Carol Brown, all of Lynn; six grandchildren, Pamela Wilkins, Michael Wilkins, Brooke Davis, Antoinette (Mia) Hartwell, James Smith and Oren Wright; eight great grandchildren; two sisters, Dorothy Taylor of Lynn and Barbara Smith of St. Petersburg, Fla.; and many nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews.

She was the wife of the late Gordon “Bumps” Barton, the mother of the late Lori Wilkins Holliday and the sister of the late Marion Bradley and Warren Smith.

Service Information: A funeral service for Mrs. Barton will be held Saturday, Sept. 11 at 1 p.m. at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 74 South Common St., Lynn. Visiting hours will be held Friday from 3-7 p.m. at Solimine, Landergan & Richardson Funeral Home, 426 Broadway (Rt. 129), Lynn.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Mrs. Barton’s memory may be made to Bethel AME Church, 72 Silsbee St., Lynn, MA, 01901, or the Virginia Barton Scholarship Fund, c/o Eastern Bank, 195 Market St., Lynn, MA 01901. Directions and guestbook at www.solimine.com

Thought our friends and my fellow co-workers might be willing to send a prayer Ken's way.  He had a quadruple by-pass and aortic valve replacement on the 17th of August.  Unfortunately, complications set in, which meant more surgery and he has been back in CICU for 11 days and isn't responding very well to treatment.  We would appreciate prayers and positive thoughts for his recovery. 

Thank you, Ami Lane
