Dean Kronsbein Posted August 10 2022 We are deeply saddened to hear of the untimely passing of Dean Kronsbein, founder and chairman of Ultrafilter Medical. Mr Kronsbein was a friend to the College who, in November 2021, on behalf of his company, donated 12,000 high grade face masks to RNC, which he personally delivered in a Morris Minor Traveller, showing off his love of classic cars and larger than life character. Ultrafilter Medical's very generous gift allowed the College and its community to continue operating safely under Covid restrictions. We send our deepest condolences to Mr Kronsbein's family and all who knew him. Read more Go
