Jerome B. Weinstein ’31

Jerry died Dec. 21, 1998, after a long illness. He was one of those rare individuals (these days) who was born in one town and lived and died in the same one -- in this case, Philadelphia. He prepared at Jenkintown H.S. (deserting Philadelphia for a few years during this period) and Swarthmore Prep. At Princeton, he graduated summa cum laude and was a member of Clio Hall.

After graduation, he followed in his father's footsteps and entered the U. of Pennsylvania law school, earning a degree in 1934. He then joined the law firm of Middleton, Blakely & Richardson. From 1942-45 he served on active duty with the Navy and attained the rank of lieutenant. In 1958, when his firm dissolved, he joined Foy, Rothschild, O'Brien & Franke, LLP, until his retirement in 1990. In 1962 he was elected a fellow of the American College of Probate Counsel (now the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel). He represented the British Consulate in Philadelphia for 30 years and was awarded the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth for his service.

He is survived by his two brothers, Edward and Horace. His wife of 44 years, Renee, predeceased him by two years. The class extends its sympathy to the entire family.
