Read MoreI met Ben and Linda when they lived in Vancouver WA. I had the pleasure of representing them as their realtor during their home purchase. We had some interesting discussions regarding generic pharmaceuticals and how he was a pioneer in that field. Such a learned and interesting man. RIP Ben

As a young high school graduate my first "real job" was at Zenith Laboratories in Englewood NJ where I worked for Benjamin Weiner, his brother Ira and Bernard Bedrick. I knew working for him that he was special and I never forgot him all through my working life. I learned a lot about the drug industry from that job. How lucky was I to have started my working career with such a fabulous role model? He was a wonderful brilliant man that I never forgot all along my way.

I was so saddened to read of Mr. Wiener's passing. It has been a long time since we were in touch but I will always remember him as a brilliant, charming and fascinating man, as well as a loving pet owner! My condolences to Linda and the rest of the family; our world is definitely a better place because he passed through it.

I am also an alumnus of Queens College and was a social acquaintance of Ben during those tumultuous war years. As a physician I reluctantly and finally acceptingly prescribed generic medication. Coincidently, I am also recipient of an Edwards-Sapien aortic valve. Please accept my condolences.

Dear Mark and Beth, I was very moved by the lovely obit of your lovely dad in todays paper. Your father and my father, Nick Cristantello were great friends since my dad moved to Portland from Roch. NY in 1991 and met your dad playing racquet ball in 1992. Nick often spoke of Ben and his admiration of him and how he enjoyed their friendship and mostly the fun sense of humor they shared and the good times and lots of laughs they had together. My sincerest condolences on your loss. May you...
