DR. ALFRED 
“
ALFIE” 
MICHAEL 
KREINDLER, 
86, of Boca 
Raton, Florida, 
and Bloomfield Hills, died 
Feb. 27, 2023. 
Alfie was born in 
Cincinnati, Ohio, and was 
proud of his upbringing. 
He was a graduate of the 
elite Walnut Hills High 
School, Phi Beta Kappa at 
the University of Cincinnati 
and Alpha Omega Alpha at 
the University of Cincinnati 
Medical School. Upon grad-
uation, he served as a captain 
in the U.S. Army before com-
pleting his residency at Henry 
Ford Hospital in Detroit.
A respected and gifted 
physician, he practiced 
medicine for more than 
35 years from his office in 
Birmingham. His patients 
included captains of industry, 
celebrities and many of his 
friends. Everyone was treated 
like family. Alfie was known 
for house calls and personal 
attention well after that fell 
out of favor. 
 Alfie was also a staunch 
supporter of Detroit sports. 
He was an avid fan of the 
Lions, Tigers, Red Wings, 
Pistons, Wolverines and 
Spartans. He cheered them 
on with his children and 
then grandkids during 
championship seasons and 
in tough times. He and his 
family loved the Olympics 
and together they saw many 
“classic” events, including the 
Miracle on Ice and the first 
perfect 10 in gymnastics. 
 He and Sharron were active 
supporters of the arts and 
loved attending the opera, 
concerts and Broadway shows. 
They were also world travelers 
before that was common.

Everyone experiences loss differently. 

And while there is a certain structure in 

Jewish funerals and rituals, it’s important 

that it brings something meaningful to 

all. We understand that. And we treat your 

family’s wishes with all of the respect and 

compassion they deserve. From guiding the 

arrangements without pressure to the memorial 

service and the appearance of the chapel itself, we 

are here, fully here, to meet your every need. It’s not 

the only way we help ease the burden of a loss. But it’s 

a special type of caring that makes a Dorfman difference.

OLD TRADITIONS.
NEW TRADITIONS.

YOUR
TRADITION.
