DR. HERBERT 
ISRAEL 
KRICKSTEIN, 89, 
of Boca Raton, 
Fla., and Grosse 
Pointe Woods, 
passed away on 
July 2, 2023, 
surrounded by his loving 
family. 
Born on April 28, 1934, in 
Salt Lake City, Utah, he was the 
son of Rabbi Joseph and Myrtle 
Krickstein and the brother of 
the late Bette Jean (Raymond) 
Goldblum. 
Herb attended the University 
of Michigan for both 
undergraduate and medical 
school. He served as Chief of 
Pathology and director of labs 
at St. John Hospital in Detroit 
and was elected president of the 
American Society for Clinical 
Pathology. 
His passion for sports began 
in his youth, playing tennis in 
high school and even earning 
a tryout with the Detroit 
Tigers. He later found joy 
in coaching and sharing his 
passion for sports with his 
children and grandchildren, 
including guiding his son, 
Aaron, and granddaughter, 
Morgan, to successful careers 
in professional tennis and golf, 
respectively. 
In his later years, Herb 
dedicated his time to the 

Morgan Pressel Foundation, 
honoring the memory of 
his eldest daughter Kathryn 
Krickstein Pressel. In addition 
to his love for his medical 
profession and sports, Dr. 
Krickstein will always be 
remembered for helping others, 
giving great advice and, most 
importantly, his love for his 
wife, Evelyn, four children and 
beloved grandkids. 
Dr. Krickstein is survived 
by his wife, Evelyn; children, 
Rachel (Mark) Schulz, 
Renee (Gary) Kay, and 
Aaron (Bianca) Krickstein; 
grandchildren, Morgan Pressel, 
Madison (Ryan) Kozlowski, 
Stanley (Rebecca) Kay, Mitchell 
(Alayna) Pressel, Marissa 
(Rodrigo) de Paula, Mikaela 
Schulz, Jade Krickstein, Kendall 
Schulz and Joseph Krickstein; 
great-grandchildren, Zayn 
and Elliott Pressel; niece, 
Tracey Goldblum; nephews, 
Philip (Lauren) Goldblum 
and John (Asmita) Goldblum; 
many great-nieces and great-
nephews. 
It is suggested that 
those who wish to further 
honor the memory of Herb 
Krickstein may do so by 
contributing to the Morgan 
Pressel Order Foundation at
