Help The Family Of Alan Kratenstein
Donation protected
Alan was so loved. He passed away of COVID-19 and leaves behind his loving wife Liz and his daughters Saige and Ivy.
Saige-his daughter shares:
"My dad was a self employed dentist. He grew up in Brooklyn and attended the University of Buffalo as well as NYU. He loved the New York Mets, New York Rangers, Dallas Cowboys, and the Maryland Terrapins. He was a hardworking man. He came from almost nothing and became very successful. He created his own dentistry and was so excited to retire after being such a hardworking and dedicated man all of his life. It breaks my heart that he was unable to enjoy his retirement years that should have been his. Even on his days off, he would sometimes go to the office just to do paperwork because he genuinely was a man who loved to work and be productive. He unfortunately contracted the virus about 4 weeks ago, and my family couldn’t see him in the hospital. He was on a ventilator and we couldn’t be there with him. He was on the ventilator for two weeks prior to passing, so we were unable to be by his side and say goodbye. It feels as if he was taken away from us and we had no way of saying goodbye. No one was able to come comfort us here at home due to the virus. No one was able to come to the funeral except 10 close family members and friends. My dad deserves more than that, and he still does. We greatly appreciate any support that you can provide right now."
