So sorry to hear of the loss of our esteemed colleague. Dr. Krickstein was an incredible mentor to me as the first chair of the Resident Physician Section of ASCP during his tenure when I joined the Board of Directors.

I will always remember Dr. Krickstein fondly as a mentor and then a friend.

Dr. Herb Krickstein has passed away. Mrs Krickstein, you and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. Dr. Krickstein was one of my most influential role models I was lucky enough to have as a young tennis player growing up at the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy. I wanted to grow up and be a leader like him, articulate my thoughts well like him and one day look after my loved ones the way Dr. Krickstein did for his loved ones in such a classy and positive way. Dr. Krickstein was very strategic and always had a plan for his kids. The success that evolved proved he was one very special guiding force. Dr. Krickstein did very well in his own life as well and lived with a passion to guide his own family filled with passion and true love. I liked him him so very much. I always admired his love for Mrs. Krickstein. Over 60 plus years together. That is special. Big hug to Aaron, Renee, Rachel and Mrs Krickstein. Sad day!
