Some of the most generous people you meet in the world can be a person with the deepest stories. One day WLRN youth radio interns and our instructor Ms. Wilson went to gather audio and to hunt for Spanish limes when we meet Zachario Levi. He was so nice and full of personality. He helped us find Spanish lime trees and even gave us an unexpected interview. When we found out that he was homeless and lived right where we stood, we were in shock. A few days after seeing and speaking with Levi we were informed that he had passed away. It’s hard to believe that someone who was so nice and inspired us to take life seriously has to go away. In honor of someone whom the WLRN youth radio will never forget. Rest In peace Mr. Levi
