LEVITTOWN, PA — Without community leaders, Levittown, Langhorne, and Bristol wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Sam P., a Levittown reader who nominated Tom Sofield.
