ALAN SCHINDLER: On September 4, 2024. Loving child of Dr. Samuel Schindler (deceased 1984) and Janet (Ziff) Schindler (deceased 2015). Cherished brother of Dr. Marilyn (Schindler) Stolar of New London, CT. Adored cousin of Phyllis (Miller) Feinert, Steven Feinert, Errol Miller, Esq, Dr. Michael Landay, Dr. Stephen Landay--all currently or previously residing in Pittsburgh, PA; Marjorie Ziff-Levine, Dr. Harvey Ziff, Nancy Ziff, Joan (Popkin) Goldenberg (deceased), Ivan Popkin (deceased)--all currently or previously residing in Philadelphia, PA. Loving uncle of Andrew Stolar of New Haven, CT.

Alan was born in 1947 in Pittsburgh, PA where he resided until his death at age 77. He graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School, and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Economics at Bethany College in West Virginia. He did post-graduate coursework in Law and in Elementary Education. Alan loved his work experience as a summer day-camp counselor for the youngest campers at Camp Deer Creek. He was a career tax-preparer for H & R Block; year after year, his clients asked to be put on Schindler's list. Alan was passionately interested in the business and history of sports; especially Pittsburgh teams, as well as two 'dynasties': the Green Bay Packers of the '60s, and the Boston Celtics of the '80s. He also possessed expertise in the political history of the USA from the '60s until recent times. He enjoyed reading, listening to folk music, listening to stand-up comedy routines, watching movies and documentary television programming. The most prominent feature of Alan's essence was his witty and subtle sense of humor. His greatest joy in life was to say something that would elicit a laugh. He will be remembered for his humble and unique one-liners, and for his beautiful mind.

An online memorial gathering of Alan's family and friends will be held in early October, date/time to be determined.
