Om Wednesday I had a telephone call from Dr. David Litrenta’s wife informing me that David passed away very recently. Dr. Litrenta was an avid
bibliophile and coin collector. His various collections were sold by Heritage and his reference books were sold in several Lake Books mail-bid sales.
The Litrentas were regular visitors to their Florida property here in Pinellas County, Florida and I had many pleasurable meetings with them. The
good doctor loved his books and was always happy to pass them on to others so that they might learn. He will be missed.
Thanks, Fred. Below is some more information on Litrenta from his online obituary. -Editor
David Edward
Litrenta, M.D., 78, passed away at his home in Shrewsbury surrounded by family on November 15, 2014, around 2 p.m. He was born May 4, 1936, in
Baltimore, Md., and was the only son of the late Catherine and Ernest Litrenta. David is survived by his beloved wife of 59 years, Shirley Frances
Litrenta (Spleidt); and seven children.
David fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a physician when he graduated from Washington College and University of Maryland Medical School.
He went on to practice for over 53 years. His love of practicing medicine was second only to his love for his wife and family. After medical school
graduation, David trained at York Hospital and entered family medicine, with a practice in the York area. He later transitioned into specializing in
preventative and occupational medicine. Most recently, prior to his retirement, he was Medical Director of Concentra Urgent Care in Harrisburg.
In addition to his undertakings, David's interests and hobbies included numismatics, collecting old and rare books, photography, history,
traveling, and spending time with family and friends. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and colleagues. -
