Dennis fought long hard battles with brain cancer and heart complications. Dennis was born on March 29, 1976 in Potsdam, son of Dennis J. and Gloria D. (Newcombe) Levac. Dennis graduated from Norwood-Norfolk Central School and the Seaway Valley Tech Electrical Program, Class of 1995. Dennis was a self-employed carpenter (jack of all trades) and also worked for Larry Danko for many years. Dennis was a lifelong member of the Norfolk Volunteer Fire Department and had a deep love for country music and singing. He was always willing to give a hand, without asking for anything in return. He was quick witted, always having a joke or a phrase. Some of his most notables included "Allegedly," "I spent my last quarter on you," Don't ever apologize, it's a sign of weakness," and "C'mon-C'mon." Dennis was also known by his nieces and nephews as "Grumpy Den." He loved Swedish Fish, pickles and cheese, and a cold Coors Light in a can. He was the most loyal father, son, brother, uncle, and friend anyone could ever ask for. Denny really enjoyed time spent with his family and friends. Dennis is survived by his son, Braydon J. Levac, Canton; his father Dennis J. Levac of Chase Mills; his six brothers and seven sisters; Melinda Levac and Dale Bilow of Chase Mills; Rebecca Siddon and Randy Sienkiewicz of Louisville; Craig Levac of Texas; Tad Levac and Michelleen Maguet of Syracuse; Darcy and Dan Holmes of Louisville; Tracie and Mike Legault of Louisville; Chad Levac of Chase Mills; Lori and James Smith of Massena; Eric Levac of Chase Mills; Brandon and Ashlee Levac of Chase Mills; Derrick Levac and Kate Gallant of Queensbury; Megan Levac and Terry Russell of Norfolk; and Courtney and Gerard Jesse of Florida.
