Allan J. Bentz, 63, passed away on Tuesday, October 13, 2009. Al was born on July 30, 1946 in Niskayuna. He was the son of the late Louis and Michelina Bentz. He was an electrochemist, electrical engineer, entrepreneur, inventor and baker. He moved from Syracuse to Schenectady in 1995 in order to care for his father. He subsequently founded the Ridvan Bakery with his wife Robin. Al was inquisitive, innovative and highly creative. His interests included scientific invention, the art of baking, and love of family, all of which he expressed with humor and humility.
Al is survived by his devoted and loving wife of 41 years, Robin and his son, Dr. Daniel N. Bentz. The funeral service consisted of a beautiful selection of Bahá'í prayers with Robin and Dan chanting ’Ye are the stars’ for Al. Friends and family later joined Robin and Dan for a reception where everyone had the opportunity to reminisce about time spent with Al and his family.
