ALVIN STEIN Obituary
The attorneys and staff at Troutman Sanders, and all the alumni of Parker Chapin, Troutman Sanders' predecessor firm in New York, are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Alvin Stein. Mr. Stein, a longtime resident of Manhasset, NY, passed away on January 26, 2018, having celebrated his 94th birthday on January 15th. Mr. Stein grew up in Brooklyn. His college education was interrupted by WWII, during which he served with distinction as a navigator in the Air Force. When he returned from the war, he attended Harvard Law School, from which he graduated cum laude in 1948. Mr. Stein was an exceptional trial attorney, who headed the litigation department at Parker Chapin for many years. He was particularly well known and highly regarded for precedent-setting antitrust litigation, defending legal and accounting malpractice claims, and representing a variety of businesses and individuals in complex commercial litigation. He was a longtime advisor to the Shubert Organization and other prominent organizations. He was the consummate litigator, one of the absolute best. Dedicated to the craft of lawyering, he mentored and taught generations of young men and women about excellence, integrity and commitment to clients. His wife, Fran, predeceased him. He is survived by his three children, Debbie, Emily and Tom, his son-in-law, Don Grubman, and by his two grandchildren, Olivia Grubman and Alex Grubman. He will be deeply missed by everyone at Troutman Sanders and by his many longtime friends from Parker Chapin. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to Al's family. Troutman Sanders LLP.

We are so sad to learn of Al's passing. He was such a big part of our lives for a long time--mentor to Charles, beloved by Jaclyn and considered to be family (along with Fran and the rest of the Stein family) by the Greenman clan. We were so happy he was able to celebrate Jaclyn's wedding. He will be sorely missed.

Truly sad to learn of Al's death. He and Fran were long-time friends of my parents and I was fortunate, as I started my career, to work with him on a few matters in NJ. My sincere condolences to the entire family.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Al Stein. He was an extraordinary lawyer and a great teacher. His career spanned for decades and he was a lawyer's lawyer in every sense of the word. Numerous lawyers, like me, were guided by him and will never forget him. Condolences to his family.

Dan and I were shocked and said to hear of Al's passing. My parents have know the Stein's for more than 60 years. Phyllis and Fran met teaching together. Jack met Al and became a great dear friend ever since. Tom always referred to Dan and I as cousins, and to this day it means so much to us. Our prayers go out to Emily and Deb and Tom and entire Stein family. Fran and Al and Phyllis and Jack will all meet in heaven and laugh as they always did.
