Albert Abraham Mendlovitz, z"l, died April 30, 2020, near Salem. He was born in Scranton, Pa., Aug. 19, 1930, to Samuel and Celia Mendlovitz. He was predeceased by his long-time wife, Sarah Mendlovitz.
Al spent most of his career as a nursing home administrator, first at Drexel Home in Chicago, then the North Carolina Jewish Home, followed by the Robison Jewish Home in Portland. 
Al was the youngest of five children and liked to tell stories about what that meant – like sleeping in a crib until late into his teens. He was a committed Jew who enjoyed celebrating Shabbat and all the holidays. He was a veteran of the Korean War where he worked on breaking codes which was hard to do when you are dyslexic.
After leaving the army, Al received a master’s from Columbia in social work with the help of his older brother, Saul.
Al was the father of Joshua Nicks, Mira Wolf (Alexander), Howard (Sara Painser) and Ari (Sarah); and grandfather of Seth Nicks; Alex Rand; and Annie, Natalie, Lucy, Harry, Ella and Allie Mendlovitz.
The private funeral was held on May 1, 2020. Donations can be made to the Chabad Jewish Center – Greensboro, N.C. To plant a memorial tree: tree.tributecenterstore.com/memorial-tree?oId=12811534
