I am saddened to hear of the passing of Al Krantz! He was an exceptional attorney and represented me well in several cases. I dubbed him "Special K". I was about to refer someone to him an instead am finding that he is at rest.
Rest well dear buddy,

I apologize for the lateness of this extension of sympathy. I had no idea Mr. Krantz passed away. He was my attorney and I have known him since 1993. Mr. Krantz always represented me when needed and I KNEW I was in good hands. He will definitely be missed, but never forgotten. Please accept my sincerest condolences.
Rest well Mr. Krantz, and thank you for all that you did for me over the years.

Seems like yesterday the solicitors were playing softball and basketball. I was a little older but remember AL so well. Charlie Kovler

Dear Krantz family, first met Al at Camp Green lane where we spent 3 summers together. Always enjoyed being with and of course playing basketball with him. Where he excelled as an all around player.I would often see him at the Sixers game where we would talk right thru halftime. Al was really special in every way & will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences to all. And please let me know if you decide to do any kind of Memorial fund in Al's name. Thanking you, Bob Caplan

Al was a good friend since I first met him at Penn State. He was Cousin A to all of us who knew him before he became a successful attorney. I will remember Al for his big smile and his knack for having a great memory for things we did together years ago. Always had a good story. Al will be remembered for his love for life, his love for his family and last but not least his love for basketball.
