ALVIN SHINOFF

Condolences & Memories (9 entries)

• I remember vividly when, one day, Dr Alvin Shinoff came home from work with a pile of papers which he placed on the kitchen counter. His wife, Shirley, asked him about the papers. He told her that they were a list of some of his patients with the amount they owed him for his services. She asked him what he planned to do with them. He replied firmly, and with a generous heart, he decided to forgive their debts because they were too poor to pay him for their dental work. There is no greater gift to give than to be a light in someone else's life. God Bless Alvin, Shirley, Lori and Danny. Most sincerely and with fond memories, Sheila. - Posted by: Sheila King (Teacher) on: Jul 13, 2025

• Dr. Shinoff was the first dentist that I saw as a child when he had his office on Main St. He took care of my dental needs for many years. He was a dedicated care giver working long hours to ensure his patients dental health. Several years ago I bumped into him at a Goldeyes game and we had a nice chat. - Posted by: David Robertson (patient ) on: Aug 21, 2021
