Albert Citron Obituary
He was a stellar role model to family and friends, a gentle, caring soul overflowing with love of G-d, nature, family, friends, and all his communities in which he participated. He was born in 1943 and grew up in Paterson, New Jersey. He attended and graduated Rutgers University and University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. He met his wife, Dale while attending Penn. Upon graduating he served in the United States Army as a Captain. He was overwhelmingly proud of his tour of duty in Vietnam. After service, he enrolled and completed a post-doctoral program in Endodontics at the New Jersey College of Medicine and Dentistry.
He was the gold standard of how to lead a righteous, moral, peaceful, joyful life. He was always mindful of G-d's gifts both large, like the birth of a grandchild and small, like the tiny birds that swarmed his backyard bird feeder. May his memory be a blessing and a moral compass to those he leaves behind.
He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Dale, his three children, Renee (Neil) Baror, Wesley Citron (Karen) Citron, and Jordan Citron (Syndy); as well as grandchildren, Jonah, Eden, Levi, Taylor, Mia and Aria and a countless cadre of cousins, nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.

So sad to hear of Dr. Citron's passing. He was the elder statesman here in Vienna dentistry and earned respect from everyone. Us younger docs would take him to lunch where he shared his wisdom outside of dentistry. My condolences to Wes, Dale and all the family. Al was a good man who served his community at the highest levels.
