Edward B. Weiner
Edward B. Weiner, aged 92, of Tewksbury, MA passed away peacefully March 30, 2025 at Care Dimensions Hospice after a brief illness. Beloved husband of Sally for nearly 49 years. Beloved father to Paul Jay (Kelly) Weiner of Lowell, MA and Lee Hope (Scott) McIver of Kingston, MA and Step-father of Deborah Ciano of Tewksbury, MA and Patrick Thompson, of Clinton, MA. Loving grandfather of eight and great-grandfather of two. He was a son, father, grandfather, uncle and friend.
He had a long career at Polaroid Corporation and retired in 1995. He had a love of traveling inspired by his service in the Navy. He traveled to many different places around the world, sometimes revisiting locations multiple times. He took all his children and grandchildren to Disney world and his last big trips were to China with Sally and to Spain with his friend, Bob.
Edward was pre-deceased by all his siblings whom he missed greatly. He was also recently pre-deceased by his life-long friend, Lester Levenbaum. He is survived by his life-friends Bob Waldorf and Bob Daniels.
He loved a good joke and on any given day he would send a joke, by email, text, or post on social media. He never forgot a joke and even once won a competition on a cruise ship for the best comedian. Right up until the end he was still cracking jokes.
Edward enjoyed a good steak without anything on it, because why ruin it with a topping? He also enjoyed Chinese food especially at the Golden Gate in Chinatown. Every week for years he would travel to the Chelsea to have pizza and beer with his brother-in-law John and late sister-in-law Lesley.
We wish to acknowledge the wonderful care provided by all the doctors, nurses, physical therapists, surgeons, and social workers at Winchester Hospital, during his last month in patient as well as the care provided by Care Dimensions, albeit a brief overnight stay.
Graveside services will be held Thursday, April 3rd, at Temple Israel Cemetery, 492 North Ave., Wakefield, MA 01880 at 11 a.m. Friends and family are welcome. Please join us immediately following the service to enjoy some Chinese food to celebrate Edward’s long life.In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the American Cancer Society or a charity of your choice.
