James Krumholtz Obituary

Family-Placed Obituary

Dr. JAMES A. KRUMHOLTZ Dr. James A. Krumholtz was born in Springfield, OH in 1933. Upon graduating Catholic Central High School he joined the Navy where he served on a destroyer for four years during the Korean War. Upon discharge from the Navy he enrolled at Ohio State University. He majored in Engineering because he thought it to be a worthy challenge. After two years he decided that he would pursue Dentistry and graduated in Orthodontics in 1961. He worked his way through college by joining the Merchant Marines and as an active member of the Brotherhood Railroad Trainmen. In 1959, he found his way to Ft. Lauderdale, FL for Spring Break where he met his future bride to be, Gail Masony, on a bright sunny day at the Elbow Room. They were married July 21, 1961 and settled in Boca Raton in 1965. They were blessed with three daughters, Karen, Kim and Kris. The Krumholtz family has been active in the community for 45 years. His passion was seen in everything he did and was exemplified by his dedication to his Orthodontic practice and improving the lives of those he served. His love for his family is unmeasured. He is survived by his wife, Gail; three daughters, Karen (Scooter) Willis, Kim (Ed) Lunsford, Kris (Keith) Lyttle; his grandchildren, Devin Willis, Shane Lunsford, Carson and Cade Lyttle; brother, Jay (Helen) Krumholtz; sisters, Joan Mclure and Joyce Koehler; brother-in-law, Brian (Nilda) Masony and their families. Dr. James A. Krumholtz will be interred in a private family ceremony on Friday. A celebration of his life will occur at a Memorial Mass at 1:00 PM on Saturday, February 6 at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church in Boca Raton. The family welcomes all who want to attend the Mass to share their love for the man we will miss dearly.

Affectionately known as "Doctor Krum Dum" in our house, named that by my father, a dental colleague and close friend, here in Boca. Jim had many roles in my young life here! I never needed braces, but I babysat for the Krumholtz´s daughters when they were babies. My mother and Gayle were friends and served on various committees together in the early days of Boca Raton. Later, when my own daughter needs braces, I couldn´t imagine having anyone else treat her! He lived life large!! I share his love for the ocean and the activities he enjoyed! He continues to be missed here by those who loved him and those he cared for!!

Dr. Krumholtz was my mom´s orthodontist, along with my sister and I. He remembered my mom after 30 years and he truly touched hearts, minds, and spirits like no other. His spirit and personality lit up the room because of him, I cherish my smile most. Dr. K was a man you cannot forget in all the most wonderful ways. He will always be missed. Thank you, Dr. K, for brightening worlds around you everyday.

I might just be another one of Dr. Krumholtz's patients, but when I heard he had moved on... I couldn't help but burst into tears, even though I was at band practice. Never have I met a man with such passion for his work and who receives so much joy from just making others smile. He passed his smile on to me, and so many others. I just want to say thank you Dr. Krumholtz. You gave me the confidence I needed to be successful in high school, and I hope that i can pass your smile on to many others. I will remember you for the rest of my life. :)

I remember meeting Jim Krumholtz for the first time in a Yoga class and thinking what a nice and gentle man he was. He then became the orthodontist for both my children, Sammie and Alec, and treated them with great skill and warmth. I was greatly saddened to hear of his passing and send my condolences to his family. He was a lovely and charming man.

Dearest Gail and Family,
I was in Australia about to speak before the World Federation of Orthodontists when I received the call from Joe Lunsford of Jim's passing. I was so shocked and shaken up that I couldn't make many sensible sentences in my talking for about 15 minutes. Later I had a good bunch of tears as I remembered Jim throughout the years. I had no idea that he was fighting cancer and perhaps that was the shock value.
Jim was really the "uncommon man" who never lost the passionate child within him. Not only was he into excellence in his profession, but he was always searching for knowledge in every aspect of his life and then he was anxious to share and teach with all of his admirers and friends. He was a perfect study club member as he would always update us on what he was studying. He was a true friend and a gentleman. He was a "Giver and a Helper" He was also a great listener and we will miss him deeply.
This Progressive Study Club will be dedicated to Jim when we meet in Hawaii in 2 weeks and we will have a celebration of life in his honor.
Gail, Weedie and I are so sorry for your loss and we will hope to catch up with you soon. He will be missed by the profession of orthodontics and all of his friends and patients. We hope to see you in the near future and would love it if you can come to future study club meetings.

Lots of love,
Tom and Weedie Pitts

My sincere symphathies are with the Krumholtz family. Having known Karen professionally, I was not too suprised to see what a great dad she had. My kids and I enjoyed interacting with him at his office. He was also so good to the community. He was so generous with Boca Hoops, Boca Helping hands and his "Krumholtz Orthodontics" banners hang in every school I've visited in the area. He will be missed by many. His memorial service was lovely. Take Care-Jill Conrad

We extend our sincere condolences to Dr. Krumholts's family and staff. He was an amazing man and he touched many lives. He was such a kind, caring and warm individual. We will miss his smile and kind word. He was our orthodontist for our 4 children for over 10 years. Our children never complained about having to visit him. He was a true professional who wasn't afraid to be silly or spunky. His office staff is a refection of him. Always smiling, caring and professioal. We will surely miss him and feel blessed to have known him. Our thoughts and prayers are with all who knew him.

The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. We share your grief.

February 9, 2010

Dear Krumholtz family,

I has been almost 10 years since Dr K removed our daughter's braces and we left Boca. However, we never forgot Dr K. I have shared with so many how wonderful Dr K is, his incredible practice, and how much fun it was to go to the orthodontist! Not many people can look forward to having their braces tightened! We even had a song we sang about Dr K! Visiting his office was like visiting with family!

Our family is so sad to hear of Dr. K's passing. We are so thankful to have known him, for his love and passion for people and his work, and for all he did to help our family.

"The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."

February 8, 2010

I was shocked to hear of Dr. K's passing. In reading all these wonderful tributes to him, I must truly say he was completely deserving of every word.

My son, Paul, presented a particular challenge to his orthodontic skills. His insight and caring ways produced not only a great outcome, but a relationship like best buddies; full of jokes, smiles and, yes, trust. He touched our whole family, who looked forward each New Year's Eve to his Movie Extravaganza's at the Palace, where the best attractions were his bright, blue eyes and gleaming smile as he would greet us in his tuxedo and top hat!

Personally, I have to say this, I don't think I've ever met as successful a human being as this man. He exuded a glowing love for everyone, a beaming smile, a sense of comfort, understanding and safety; I'd have to say it was God's love shining through him in every kind act, generous gesture, and intelligent application of his talent. Someone here wrote a comparison to George Bailey...more than that, he has left his own unique character's imprint, deserving his own legend- in the world of charity, the world of compassion and, most of all, in the worlds of our hearts, where we hold him close and remember a man to revere, one who made a sterling example for us all, one who made his own name a legend in his time, our dear "Dr. K".

His legacy of love should shine through all the beautiful smiles he fashioned for us. So, remember him and smile, though our hearts are breaking- just smile...

God is.

With sincere sympathy,
"Paul's Mom"

Dr. Krumholtz was immensely helpful to me when I opened my dental office in 1994. He gave me such great encouragement and always treated my patients with great care and unmatched expertise. He was a lovely man of great warmth and compassion. His loss breaks all our hearts but his legacy of caring and dedication to our profession will always endure.

Dear Krumholtz family,

I'm immensely sorry for the loss of Dr. K. But you should surely know that he is with God for his kind acts on Earth.
The first day I met Dr. K he took my hand and looked me into the eyes. He told me (after seeing my x-rays)"We are going to be friends for a very long time, Renee." Since then it has been over 6 years of knowing a great doctor. Every appointment no matter any pain in my mouth I was always happy.
My favorite part of the appointment was always when Dr. K came over to check me. When he smiled you couldn't help but to smile back. It was contagious!
As Kristina Kostkas said, we once saw Dr. Krumholtz at the beach lying upside down on a dune with his hat over his head. He once looked up to find me sitting near him, with my family. We chatted for a long time listening to his stories which were extremely funny.
For changing my life forever I thank you Dr. Krumholtz for every smile, laugh, and appointment. I owe my smile to you :)
I greatly appriciate and love you.
Thank you and God bless your family.

To the Krumholtz family,

I'm so sorry for your loss. Dr. K was one of the best people I had the pleasure of meeting. I was a patient of his for many years, and still am to this day. It was always such a pleasure to have a visit at his office. The world needs more people like him.
I am so saddened by the news.
I have my Dr. Krumholtz shirt and the picture with him the day I got my braces off. I will cherish it forever. Dr. K was so special! I love you Dr. Krumholtz! You never failed to make me smile.
My family saw him at the beach once, laying in the sand, expressing his love for life. God Bless him!

Forever missing you!

February 7, 2010

Dr. Krumholtz Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Dr. K was more than just an orthodonist, he was a caring and loving man. He knew each one of his patients by name and was genuinely interested in their lives. My children, although done with braces, still enjoyed going in for a checkup because they enjoyed seeing Dr. K. He will be greatly missed. Thank you for sharing him with all of us.
Fondly,
The Popken Family

Dear Krumholtz Family,
When I think of Dr. Krumholtz his memory brings a smile to my face. What a wonderful caring and generous man. I actually missed him and his staff when I was done with my orthodontics. He was a very special man and I will remember him with much fondness. I feel blessed to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dr. K was one of the best people that I was ever given the privilege to meet. He didn't just fix my smile, he gave me confidence and pride in myself. It was truly an honor to be a patient of his.

February 6, 2010

Our family will deeply miss Dr. Krumholtz.. He was a very kind, caring and compassionate man who loved to see everybody smile. He was the only one who could convince my son to wear his head gear, told him it will help get more oxygen to his brain and make him smarter. Both my son and daughter have had the pleasure to have such a caring man give them the best smile in the world. We will miss his humor and happy attitude toward life. Thanks Dr. K for being you, you were truly a great man. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends . He will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.

Our family will miss Dr.K dearly. He was such a compassionate, kind, loving and caring man. He gave beautiful smiles to many of our family members.

This is a shock to us. Dr. Krumholtz was the kindest Dr. I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. My niece was petrified of going to an orthodonic. The day we went into his office to check him out, she was very nervous and shaking. He held her hand and told her that he would make her more beautiful than she already was. She didn't get sick to her stomach,and the rest was history. He gave her a new look on life, made her smile more, her teeth were made perfect, and confidence restored. He was a truly wonderful man, always pleasant and really enjoyed his profession. He was an asset to the orthodonic profession. He was never cold, rude, prideful or arrogant. He was a truly blessed man.

Our hearts were saddened when we learned of the loss of Dr. K. He was the most amazing and kind person we have had the pleasure of knowing. Three of our four family members have received new smiles courtesy of Dr. K. He will truly be missed by all who knew him.

February 5, 2010

Sorry for your loss, he was a great Dr. He worked on my braces in the 70s and my sister Maureen is one of his daughters friend. May God give the family strength during this difficult time. He is sitting with Jesus on the throne by the Father. Ann Reed

February 5, 2010

To the Krumholtz Family,
I can not remember seeing Jim without a beaming smile on his face. He was the personification of cheerfulness. And this is understandable since he enjoyed life to the fullest whether practicing orthodontics, engaing with friends and family, participating in some community service, or riding the waves on his windsurfer. He lived life to the highest ideals, both personally and professionally and was widely loved and respected for it.
It was always a pleasure to see Jim and chat with him at our South Florida Academy of Orthodontists and FAO meetings. I always admired his commitment to life-long continuing education and his dedication to maintaining a first class practice. He seemed eternally young, young-at-heart and would practice forever, which is why I am particularly shocked and saddened today.
I express my deepest sympathies and condolences in this time of grief to all his immediate and extended family members.

February 5, 2010

Enough can never be said in regards to the exceptional man that Dr. K. exemplified to all that came in contact with him. Those of us who have known him for decades, as patients & as friends.....will never forget him. He always had such a beautiful smile, a warm personality that was gentle & caring, whether you were an adult or juvenile patient. He has created so many beautiful smiles over the many years he has been in practice, that will live on & on for years to come. Our family has been patients for many generations & Dr. K has always remained the same wonderful person. He will never be forgotten. We extend our deepest sympathy to his family & remembering you in our prayers.

To Gail and your entire family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Jim's passing. He was a wonderful mentor and source of help to me when I was starting my practice. He always had kind words when we saw each other at professional meetings, and has been a sort of hero for me to aspire to emulate both professionally and in his zest for life. Those of us in the orthodontic community thought very highly of him. Besides, anyone who drove a purple truck can only make you smile - and he did that very well! I wish you comfort and many wonderful memories. He will be missed.

Dr. K. treated my 3 children and husband over a period of 12 years. His professional, caring, and outgoing nature always left us with a smile. In addition to his unique way of making everyone feel special Dr. K. made a huge impact on the community through his support of events and sports. I will always cherish my kid's final photo next to Dr. K. when the braces finally came off! Boca Raton will truly miss this wonderful human being. Thank you Dr. K.

I owe Dr. K for giving me my beautiful smile. When it came time for my twin daughters to go into braces, there was absolutely no other place that I would take them than to Dr. K. He was a special man who cared about each and every patient and parent that walked through his doors. Never have I met a more caring doctor. Boca Raton has truly lost an icon. Dr. K you may be gone from this earth, but you will never be forgotten. You will be remembered in every picture, of every smile, of each of the patients that you touched. Our deepest sympathies and prayers go out the Krumholtz Family.

We are honored to have a long history with a great person; Dr. James Krumholtz. He was the first dentist to visit our new and then small office in 1982 giving us the support and wishing us the success. He was the first to encourage us in our indifferent practice of TMD when many people doubted us. He was a mentor, colleague, and above all nice person to share with him our experience. Our professional relationship extended for a long time helping many patients not only for good look but also to feel good. Dr. Krumholtz was an excellent and generous clinician who wanted to share his knowledge with other colleagues in the entire world as he put his extensive experience in a book; Epi -genetics in orthodontics. He gave me the honor and pleasure to review this book that will be guidance to many generations of orthodontists and dentists to help their patients. With my deepest sympathy to his family, friends, colleagues and patients.

Heaven has gained a beautiful soul. Never have I met a man who was seemingly ALL that is so pure and good in every possible way. Although I did not actually know Dr. K personally, he made me and my son "feel" like we did; as if we were family. My heart and prayers are forever with you Dr. K and your family. Thank you for changing my life. May I be twice blessed to see you again one day!

How can someone who provided services to so many people remember each of us at every visit as though we meant something special to him? An amazing and important gift. I will remember you Dr. K when I brush my teeth and see 3 of my children smile their Krumholz smiles. But mostly I will remember your warmth and your compassionate humanity and how you touched my soul with your kindness. Farewell my friend.
Love and sympathy to Dr. K's dedicate staff and to his family.

I worked for Dr K over 20 years ago and to this day I still value all the knowledge, respect, warmth and appreciation he showed me and all those who knew him. I look at my smile, which he created, and am so thankful for knowing such a wonderful man who had an infectious "zest for life" attitude. He will be greatly missed and my deepest sympathies go out to his family and staff.

I worked for Dr Krumholtz for a short time in the late 60's and have never forgotten what a really decent man he was. He has often crossed my mind over the years for just that reason, and I have called him my first best boss! May his soul rest in peace and may all those that loved him find that peace as well...

Dr. Krumholtz was not just a boss to me, but one of the most warm, caring, compassionate people I have ever worked for. The morning huddles we had started days with prayer, laughter and lots of love and hugs all around. He guided us with family and personal issues stressing vitamins, eating and exercise. I will miss him skipping through the operatory singing "life is just a bowl of Cherries". As a Team we laughed, we cryed, we prayed, we shared stories and we made many, many wonderful memories together. Thank you for bringing Dr. Statler into our lives to continue the "Krumholtz/Statler Orthodintic tradition"! I will miss and love you always. Kathy Spute (Boca)

Dr. K was not just a great orthodontist, but also a wonderful human being. His kindness, compassion, sense of humor and enthusiasm for life made people want to be around him! He didn't just take care of his patients; he also took care of his community...with constant support of his local schools and sponsorship of local youth sports teams, donations to charities, etc. He was Boca Raton's very own George Bailey (from It's A Wonderful Life). I know that this is a time of great sadness for the Krumholtz family, but I hope it will ease your sorrow a little to know that Dr. K was so loved by his patients, so highly esteemed by his colleagues and peers, and so appreciated by the recipients of his generosity and kindness. Thank you, Dr. K, for giving our son his beautiful smile! We will forever treasure the photo you took with him the day you removed his braces...what a wonderful legacy it is to not only give people beautiful smiles, but to actually MAKE them smile whenever they're with you!

Dr. Krumholtz was such an amazing person. My son Justin & I always had such a high level of respect and loyalty to him. He had the same birthday as Justin and it was always a joke between us. He will surely be missed and thought about everytime I look at Justin's beautiful smile created by Dr. James Krumholtz. My thoughts & prayers go out to you...his family in this sad time of your lives.

My deepest sympathy to the Krumholtz family. Just yesterday, I commented to my staff and a patient, that a dear wonderful orthodontist inspired my aspirations of becoming a dentist. I had also said that I needed to thank him....Thank you Dr. K for giving me my beautiful smile, giving me the opportunity to work with you as an assistant and encouraging me to pursue my dreams. I'm sorry I am day too late...The world has lost a truly wonderful person. Dr. Margie Szomy Hartwig

I will truly miss Dr. Krumholtz! I worked for him for five years in the late 80's and enjoyed every day of it! Dr. Krumholtz had a zest for life and had the gift of making everyone he talked to feel like they were the most important person in the world. He has inspired me throughtout the last 24 years to be a better person and to realize that every day that we are on this planet, is a gift! I will miss you!

Dr. K was such an amazing testimony for us all, of compassion, graciousness, kindness, excellence, faith, fun, optimism, nobility, integrity, and so much more. I will never forget his kindness and caring for me and how i was always met with a smile, expertise, generosity and genuine care. his words of encouragement and strength that he shared so many times over the past 13 years will forever play in my heart.

Dr K's bright light will shine on through everyone he touched. He will be greatly missed. I miss his presence in this world already.

My deepest sympathies and condolences for the Krumholtz family and his extended family of Krumholtz orthodontics. My thoughts and prayers are yours.

see you in heaven Dr. K!!

Dr. K. moved more than teeth, He moved thousands of lives, by championing the best in each one of us. Dr. K's life was a daily celebration of loving kindness, compassion, belief and abundant positivity that can only be measured in epic proportions.

My life has been forever changed by Jim. In our work together he demonstrated such faith in my abilities helping producing videos, his book, marketing and educational materials, so much,... That I felt they far surpassed my own. To have someone such as Dr. Krumholtz see the best in us before we can, and hold the vision of our success, is truly one of life's rarest and greatest blessings.

I know for a fact that his wisdom, sincerity, passion and drive to help us all activate our highest potential has helped to actually shift the consciousness, and genetic potential of our planet. That's how big his heart is!

Dr. James A. Krumholtz I salute you with all the love in my heart and pray the peace, health and blessings of your life gifted us all with, will add and multiply infinitely in our world, and shine as big as your smile did, every single day of your wonder-filled life.

I love you with all my heart Jim. and my blessing go out to your wife Gail, your children and their families.

Dr. K was unbelievable, he never forgot a mouth or the person that surrounded it. I felt we were on the Krumholz annuity plan and was happy to be there. I have many happy memories and will continue to think about him for years to come. He certainly has a pass to go to a better place. His generousity will never be forgotten.

Dr. K was one of a kind. He made everyone he touched feel special, like each of us are a valuable gift from God. I have never run across anyone who managed his business like everyone involved was family (employees, patients, colleagues, etc.). Dr. K will always be remembered as a kind, happy and gentle soul. May his generous, loving spirit and love of life live on in his children, grandchildren, and his entire family. Dr. K touched each of us in a special way and I, for one, will never forget him.

How sad to hear about Dr K's passing. Our family has known and loved Dr K for 12years. He had a positive influence on us and so many others in the community. Yes, our smiles are more beautiful but what we learned most from him was how to live life with energy and enthusiasm. Dr K was a significant life force and will forever be remembered for all he has done for others. With love, The Lippmans (Boca Raton, FL)
