Date and place of death edit

I found a reliable source on this:
http://www.geni.com/people/Ronald-Levinson/6000000016989032369
So he died Nov 21st, 1980, in Bangor, Maine.
Orono obviously was his last place of living, and is often cited as place of death, therefore.
The source in full text:
"From Bangor Daily News, Nov 26, 1980 RONALD B. LEVINSON ORONO - Ronald Bartlett Levinson, 84, died Nov. 21, 1980, following a long illness, at the Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor.

He received his bachelor's degree from Harvard, sevred in World War I as a member of the Camouflage Corps, and received his doctoral degree in 1924 from the University of Chicago.
