John Weiner

To Sara and the family - loved your Dad - he was my eighth grade English teacher - he would always sit on the desk showing off his latest pair of socks - especially argyles. He said that the socks you wear show your personality! He wore a beard in those days - what a handsome fellow to the end. Fond memories of your Dad and you too - you were such a sweetie when you came to EHS. Take care Fay Fallon Baker

Forever loved, admired and missed.
Love you Dad, we will see you again!

As the Poet has said, “Time flies,” and on the other hand Napoleon was quoted famously when he remarked to Marshal Ney, “I can grant you any request but time.” Over these long years I had grown to admire John and his cool demeanor, wise counsel and excellent sense of humor and perspective.

John was one of those rare individuals who was really comfortable in his own skin and had learned to keep his ego in check. Maybe that comes from a long life, dotted with “ups and downs” and a vast...

Dear Lynne,

The entire Schear family extends its love to you at this difficult time. John was an amazing person and humanist and a great and loyal friend to our Stanley.

Mr. Weiner was one of my favorite teachers at Edgemont. He was an advocate for what would become known as multicultural literature, and his class (eventually) inspired me to become a professor of English. We lost a kind, gentle teacher & a wonderful man: rest in peace, Mr. Weiner, & much peace to your family.

Dear Lynne,
My sympathy and prayers are with you and your family, at John's passing. Growing up two doors away, I remember playing with young Dennis Hawkins in your back yard. Later, working for John at Free Books for the Homeless at Grace Church, was both inspirational and transformative for me. John was a great man, a keen wit, superior intellect and dear friend. Like a second grandfather to me. He will be missed.
Sincerely,
Greg and Josephine Sullivan

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Mr. Weiner was my 8th grade English teacher when I was new to Edgemont -- he made me feel very welcome. My vocabulary is forever enhanced by his clever use of New Yorker cartoons to learn new words. A wonderful teacher.

The Garfunkel family lost a great friend, with the passing away of John Weiner. John died the other day at age 93, only a couple of weeks before his 94th birthday, which fell on June 6, D-Day. On Tuesday, I spent an hour at their home on Park Circle with Lynne and John's nephew Philip Lehrman. John will be buried up in Livingston Manor, NY, where he was born and raised. There will be a memorial service for him in White Plains the following week.

John was a graduate of Cornell, a polo...
