Marc worked with the Mets organization for over 35 years, and was one of the most generous people you could ever meet, always lending a hand, and a word of advice to all.
Mets’ owners Steve and Alex Cohen released in a statement: “We are incredibly heartbroken to learn of Marc Levine’s passing. He was the longest-tenured photographer in team history. Marc documented every Mets moment for the last three and half decades. He had a kind heart and a wonderful photographic eye. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends.”

Latino Sports’ head photographer, and photo editor Bill Menzel stated: “He was one of a kind. Knowing Marc for over 20 years, I would often see him chatting with fans, who were stationed in their seats during batting practices and games, snapping photos with beat-up cameras, high-end ones, and everything in between. He’d call them over, and after a short conversation about their interests in photography, he’d give them his number — telling them that he would help them gain access to a game or two down the line. There’d be times on the very next day, the same man/woman had a credential, all thanks to Marc. That’s the kind of person he was, a selfless individual.”
