Alan Gordin
October 23, 1947 - May 8, 2025

ALAN GORDIN: Passed away on May 8, 2025, at the age of 77. He was born on October 23, 1947, in Riga, Latvia (then part of the former USSR) to Pesach and Faina (Nadlin) Gordin, in a traditional Jewish family.

Alan earned a degree in dentistry from the Riga Medical Academy and was cherished by his patients for his skill and warmth. In 1980, he immigrated to the United States and settled in New York City. He worked as a dental assistant before later pursuing a career in oil and gas trading, which brought him back to Moscow for a time.

Upon moving to the United States, Alan deepened his connection to Judaism and remained passionately committed to Israel and Jewish causes throughout his life. He was a vibrant, dynamic person with a wide range of interests and a deep love for both his immediate and extended family.

Alan is survived by his daughter, Alexis Schottenstein of New York and Florida; his brother, Vitaly Gordin, MD, and sister-in-law, Maria Gordin, of Hershey, Pennsylvania; his nephews, Yuri Gordin, MD, of Palm Springs, California, and Jacob Gordin, Esq., of Baltimore, Maryland; and his former wife, Randee Schottenstein, of New York and Florida.

Contributions in Alan's memory may be made to the Jewish National Fund.

Graveside Service and Interment will be held on Sunday, May 11, 2025 at 11 AM at Homewood Cemetery. Contributions in Alan's memory may be made to the Jewish National Fund. Arrangements entrusted to Ralph Schugar Chapel, Inc. www.schugar.com
