SANDY (SANFORD) WEINSTEIN

Sandy (Sanford) Weinstein, z”l, passed away Sept. 6, 2021. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Elaine; sons, Jerry (Bhing) and Marty; daughter, Roberta; grandson, David; sister, Carol Albaum; and a large family of cousins, nieces and nephews.

A native of the Northwest, Sandy graduated from  the University of Washington.  He was a member of Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity.

Sandy enjoyed a 55-year career in the insurance-and-estate-planning profession, retiring to pursue his lifelong passion for physical fitness and athletic endeavors.  He excelled in golf, tennis, racquetball, and running.  The Cascade Runoff was a favorite. His main athletic passion, however, was racquetball, being a cofounder of the Rose Festival Racquetball Tournament.

Sandy was a modest and humble man, not seeking recognition for the many ways he helped people who needed a lift.  He was greatly admired for his integrity and professionalism.

His greatest joy and concern was his beloved family.

Sandy’s wishes were that there not be a funeral and that remembrances may be made in his memory to the Oregon Jewish Museum & Center for Holocaust Education, Congregation Beth Israel,  the Oregon Food Bank and National Alliance on Mental Illness-Oregon chapter.

Congregation Beth Israel sends condolences to the entire Weinstein family.
