Marshall L. Weingarden

1930 - 2024

Born 1930 in Brooklyn; raised there and in Queens NY, Marsh remembered when milkmen used horses, bagels were cement donuts and the Dodgers played the 1941 World Series. He studied engineering, graduated from University of Michigan where he hosted one of the first toga parties and celebrated the 1951 Rose Bowl victory the month of his graduation. In New York he began his long and fruitful career as a packaging designer, salesman and inventor with multiple patents on packages for educational publishers. His master's thesis on consolidating air cargo into containers helped revolutionize this industry. Marshall was a car enthusiast and owned one of the first stateside Aston Martin DB-2/4s. He enjoyed international travel and yet could find all the payphones in Manhattan. A friend often said, "There are eight million stories in NY and Marshall has all of them". He lived more than 93 years, spending 30 of his adult years in Manhattan, 30 years in Haworth, NJ and the last 10 years in Easton, MD - enjoying time with family & friends. Despite various health challenges, he had a long, happy life. Devoted husband to Barbara (Burns), wonderful father to Alison and fun granddad to Marco. Affectionate father-in-law to Paolo and brother-in-law to Cindy. Loving son to Esther and Harry; steadfast brother to Ann, who predeceased him. Donations to JDRF or Mount Sinai Hospital appreciated in his memory.
