We are so very proud of all his unique accomplishments. Born, raised & educated in Revere, MA, he was the son of the late George & Betty (Goldman) Kritzer. He is survived by his children Heather R. Kritzer, Justin Kritzer, his ex-wife Donna French, and his granddaughter Mia Powers Kritzer. Dad, Love you. Will never forget the drive you gave me. Graveside services will be held at a later date.

Dad Miss you so much the world feels so quiet without your life force and energy in it. The quiet is so profound. I miss you. I wish I listened closer to all your stories of your life. I can't believe I buried you. Words cannot expect reds the profound nature of this. The deep sorrow of this. The finality. I love you I miss your voice. I can't believe you won't be here for the rest of my life. I look for signs and sounds in the air and listen to the breeze and birds and look for your spirit with every classic rock song that I hear and play on the radio. You are a star in my book. So creative and positive and always always pushing forward. Gold star Heroes, someone else will morph it and push it into creation. Love you and will miss our walks and our breakfasts and our phone calls and the emails.
