[איור דמותו של אברהם קריניצי]
במקום זה טמונים אברהם קריניצי ז"ל, בונה העיר ומייסדה, שעמד בראשות רמת-גן בשנים 1926-1969, חתנו - ישעיהו שמואלביץ ז"ל ונהגו - ברוך עזאני ז"ל.
בבוקר 13 בנובמבר 1969, ד’ כסלו תש"ל, נסע אברהם קריניצי ראש עיריית רמת-גן בן ה -84 לעכו, למפעל החרסינה "ברבור" שהיה בבעלותו. על ההגה הופקד נהגו הנאמן מזה כ-15 שנה ברוך עזאני. במושב האחורי: חתנו ישעיהו שמואלביץ שניהל את עסקיו ולצידו המהנדס אברהם קירשנר.
עת עשו דרכם חזרה לרמת-גן, סמוך לשעה שש בערב, סטתה מכוניתו מנתיבה בכביש חיפה - תל אביב והתנגשה במשאית. קריניצי, חתנו שמואלביץ ועזאני הנהג נהרגו במקום. קירשנר נפצע קל.
אברהם קריניצי שעמד בראשות הישוב 43 שנים נקבר בעירו, בפארק הלאומי, שהינו מהישגיו הבולטים והסמליים. על כך הוחלט לאחר שנמצא כי כתב בצוואתו "רצוני לבוא למנוחת עולמים בזיכרון יעקב או בפארק הלאומי כפי שמועצת העיריה תחליט". ואכן, רישיון קבורה מיוחד ניתן עוד באותו היום.
בהלוויה ההמונית השתתפו אישי ציבור רבים כדוד בן גוריון, מנחם בגין, הרבנים הראשיים, קציני הצנחנים ועשרות אלפים מבני העיר.

Translation of the text on the sign:
[Illustration of the figure of Avraham Krinitzi]
In this place lie the late Avraham Krinitzi, the builder and founder of the city, who headed Ramat Gan in the years 1926-1969, his son-in-law - the late Yeshayahu Shmuelevich and his driver - the late Baruch Azzani.
On the morning of November 13, 1969, D. Kislev, Avraham Krinitzi, the 84-year-old mayor of Ramat Gan, traveled to Acre, to the "Swan" porcelain factory he owned. His son-in-law Yeshayahu Shmuelevich ran his business and was accompanied by engineer Avraham Kirshner.
As they were making their way back to Ramat Gan, around six in the evening, his car veered off the lane on the Haifa-Tel Aviv road and collided with a truck. Krinitzi, his son-in-law Shmuelevich and the driver Azani were killed on the spot. Kirchner was slightly injured.
Avraham Krinitzi, who headed the settlement for 43 years, was buried in his city, in the national park, which is one of his most prominent and symbolic achievements. This was decided after he was found to have written in his will "I wish to come to rest forever in Zichron Yaacov or in the national park as the City Council decides". Indeed, a special burial permit was granted on the same day.
The mass funeral was attended by many public figures such as David Ben-Gurion, Menachem Begin, the chief rabbis, the paratrooper officers and tens of thousands of residents of the city.
