Sidney, known as Jim, prepared for Princeton at Deerfield and joined Elm Club. His Princeton career was interrupted for service in the Pacific as an officer with the 789th Field Artillery Battalion, which saw combat in Manila. At Princeton he majored in SPIA, receiving his degree in 1947. He received an M.B.A. from Harvard in 1949 and joined Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp. in New York City. In 1965, he joined Goldman Sachs, where he served out his corporate career.

 

In 1951, Sidney married Elizabeth Houghton, and they had three children. With Elizabeth’s three children from a previous marriage, the couple raised six children together before retiring to what had originally been their vacation home in Marion, Mass.

 

Sidney was predeceased by his brother, John L. Weinberg ’47. In addition to Betty, he is survived by his daughters, Elizabeth and Sydney; son Peter; stepsons James McCord and Alan McCord; and stepdaughter Laura McCord Grauer. The class expresses its sympathy to the family.
