This excerpt from “York County Men and Women Who Gave Their Lives in World War II, Book 2,” lists Henry Levy and his untimely death at 21. A member of the RCAF, Levy joined the service with two friends he had met at Harbord Collegiate Institute in Toronto in 1940: David Axler and Murray Cohen. Many residents of Thornhill commuted to Toronto daily for work and school. As being a pilot was one of the most dangerous roles a serviceman could occupy, many recruits did not make it to see any wartime action. Levy, along with both his friends Axler and Cohen, died during RCAF training.
