It is with great sadness that the Carl Levin Center for Oversight and Democracy at Wayne State University Law School announces the passing of our dear friend and esteemed Levin Center Advisory Board member, Cyril Moscow. Our hearts go out to Cy’s partner, Randie Levin, and the entire family. Cy was a founding member of the Center’s Advisory Board in 2015 and a trusted and wise advisor to the Center over the past decade . He was also a generous supporter of the Levin Center and Wayne State University Law School. Cy was a dear friend of Senator Levin and a pillar of the Detroit legal community, especially in the areas of corporate and banking law where he was seen as a true authority. Cy was a partner at the Honigman law firm where he welcomed Senator Levin as a partner after he retired from the Senate.
During a distinguished legal career that spanned over six decades, Cy served as a member and former chairperson of the State Bar of Michigan’s Business Law Section and a member of its Business Corporation Act Revision Subcommittee, which he chaired since 1984.
“We will miss Cy’s kindness, wisdom, and wit and take inspiration from his commitment to our mission at the Levin Center and to the rule of law,” said Levin Center director Jim Townsend. “When I practiced law at a different firm, I knew about Cy Moscow’s reputation as a leader among business lawyers. I felt doubly blessed when I joined the Levin Center to have the benefit of Cy’s incisive thinking and generous spirit.”
The funeral will take place on Thursday, April 10, 2025 at 11:00AM Ira Kaufman Chapel, 18325 W. Nine Mile Rd., Southfield. For additional information, please visit the Ira Kaufman website.
