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.
