In Loving Memory of 

Dr. Alan W. Pittle 

February 11, 1946 - May 27, 2020


It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of our beloved Dr. Alan Pittle (Dr. Charles Pittle's father).


Alan William Pittle passed away peacefully on May 27th at the age of 74 in his home in El Paso, Texas. When he passed, he was surrounded by his loving family including his wife and unquestionable soulmate of 52 years, Miriam.


Born on February 11, 1946 in Washington DC to Herbert and Ethel, he would spend his entire youth in the District of Columbia including his freshman year of college at American University. At the age of 18, he met Miriam and chose to transfer to the University of Maryland to be with her. They were married in 1968 just prior to Alan’s enrollment in the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine where he would graduate cum laude in 1972. After 4 years in Cleveland, the criteria of “anyplace that was sunny and warm” was met perfectly by the border city of El Paso, Texas.


Alan quickly opened his private practice and would serve the people of El Paso for nearly 45 years. Known for his humility and even temperament, Alan worked with Miriam to create a warm and comfortable practice that would grow to one of the most successful in the state of Texas.


Family was always central to Alan’s motivation and after the birth of two sons, Alan and Miriam would adopt two more daughters and one more son. He loved to travel and made it his priority that his family would share his love of travel. Even after his family grew with the addition of 11 grandchildren, Alan insisted that family travel was crucial and would bring the entire family to Hawaii for an annual trip.


In his personal time, he was an avid runner and eventually turned to crossfit, often reminding his friends and family that he was the oldest guy in the gym at @GetLiftedCollective. He loved the outdoors and never said no to a hike or a quick camping trip to the mountains.


He is survived by his wife Miriam, his sister Nancy (Les), his sons Morris (Ashley), Charles (Kristie) and Michael, his daughters Rachel (Jed), Samantha (John) and his grandchildren Jacob, Margueritte, Joseph, Mia, Zoe, Jackson, Judah, Jordan, Mateo, Jillian and Maelana.


In observance of social distancing and in respect for the battle against COVID-19, a funeral service will be held at the Temple Mt. Sinai cemetery on May 31st and will only be attended by his immediate family. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Sierra Club or any cause committed to the outdoors and our environment. www.sierraclub.org

En recuerdo amoroso de
Dr. Alan W. Pittle 

11 de Febrero 1946 - 27 de Mayo  2020


​Con gran tristeza anunciamos la pérdida de nuestro querido Dr. Alan Pittle (el padre del Dr. Charles Pittle).


Alan William Pittle falleció pacíficamente el 27 de mayo a la edad de 74 años en su hogar en El Paso, Texas. Cuando falleció, estaba rodeado por su amada familia, incluida su esposa e incuestionable alma gemela durante 52 años, Miriam.


Nacido el 11 de febrero de 1946 en Washington, DC, hijo de Herbert y Ethel, pasaría toda su juventud en el Distrito de Columbia, incluido su primer año universitario en American University. A los 18 años, conoció a Miriam y decidió trasladarse a la Universidad de Maryland para estar con ella. Se casaron en 1968, justo antes de la inscripción de Alan en la Facultad de Medicina Podiátrica de Ohio, donde se graduaría cum laude en 1972. Después de cuatro años en Cleveland, se dirigieron al oeste, ya que el criterio de "cualquier lugar soleado y cálido" se cumplía perfectamente por la ciudad fronteriza de El Paso, Texas.


Alan abrió rápidamente su práctica privada y serviría a la población de El Paso durante casi 45 años. Conocido por su humildad y gran temple, Alan trabajó con Miriam para crear una práctica cálida y cómoda que se convertiría en una de las más exitosas en el estado de Texas.


La familia siempre fue fundamental para la motivación de Alan y después del nacimiento de sus dos hijos, Alan y Miriam adoptaron dos hijas y un hijo más. Le encantaba viajar y consideraba prioritario que su familia compartiera su amor por los viajes. Incluso después de que su familia creció con la incorporación de 11 nietos, Alan insistió en que el viaje familiar era crucial y que traería a toda la familia a Hawai para un viaje anual.


En su tiempo personal, era un ávido corredor y finalmente se adentró en el crossfit, a menudo recordando a sus amigos y familiares que él era el chico más viejo en el gimnasio. Le encantaba el aire libre y nunca dijo que no a una caminata o a un viaje de campamento rápido a las montañas.


Le sobrevive su esposa Miriam, su hermana Nancy (Les), sus hijos Morris (Ashley), Charles (Kristie) y Michael, su hijas Rachel (Jed), Samantha (John) y sus nietos: Jacob, Marguerite, Joseph, Mia, Zoe, Jackson, Judah, Jordan, Mateo, Jillian y Maelana.


En aras del distanciamiento social respecto a la lucha contra el COVID-19, se llevará a cabo un funeral en el Templo del Monte Sinaí el 31 de mayo para su familia inmediata. En lugar de flores, por favor considere una donación al Sierra Club o a cualquier causa comprometida con el aire libre y nuestro medio ambiente. www.sierraclub.org
