Levantis was born in Montreal, Quebec and moved to Toronto at an early age. After graduating, Levantis became a firefighter. In those days, professional players did not earn much for playing football and a full-time job was essential. According to John, you were happy to get a windbreaker at the end of the season. Levantis died in 2010.[3]
