Ronald S. Weinstein M.D.

Dr. Weinstein ... Even now, he continues to inspire me. I am sure I speak for many of the other former residents who had the opportunity to train at the University of Arizona when Ron was the chairman. For me, I remember several times sharing my excitement about informatics (it was new back then), and particularly about my deepest passions as to where we could merge pathology, informatics and medicine together to elevate medicine to the highest levels. To this day I carry his words with me....

I just heard of Ron's death. I knew and worked with him through the ASCP and CAP. He was a true innovator and always so upbeat. His contribution to medical care through telemedicine is huge. My sympathy goes to his family.

The world lost the father of telepathology, a great leader in telemedicine, great doctor and healthcare hero. Universities have lost a most respected and distinguished professor, with a lifetime of experience in medical science and promoting health literacy education. We have lost a great mentor. We are honored to know you, we cherish you, admire you, and we miss you more in this pandemic time. Dear Mary, Katherine and John, please accept our sincere condolence. from Zhang family in Maryland

Dear Mary, I am sadened to learn your husband passing. I was a resident at Rush, many years ago. Thanks to him, I was able to become a pathologist and I remember my years at Rush as the among the best of my life. It must be very difficult for you, after so many years of living together. Please accept my sincere condoleances Best regards Marie Olmos, former resident at Rush medical center

Mary: My deepest and most sincere sympathies. Ron's passing is a horrific loss to so many and a great loss that spreads way beyond the Tucson community. Ron touched so many lives and was such a compassionate good man and Dr. His character was exemplary and his wisdom and contribution to science was incredible. He will be missed and remembered.

Godspeed Dr. Weinstein. Thank you for your lifelong work.

May his soul Rest In Peace. Dr Weinstein was a gentle soul who loved to mentor and teach future doctors. He was brilliant and passionate about telemedicine. The genius of Dr Weinstein will be missed by the world.
