Ronald Weinstein Obituary

Ronald Alan Weinstein

Kirkland - Ronald Alan Weinstein, aged 78, beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother, passed away peacefully at his home in Kirkland, Washington on Wednesday, October 30, 2019, surrounded by his family.

Ron was born in Astoria, Oregon on March 19, 1941. He is survived by his wife Devorah, his daughter Jill, his grandchildren Joshua (& Haley) Sloan, Simon (& Brenda) Florentino-Weinstein, and Jordan Sloan, his brothers Gary (& Carolyn) Weinstein and Stuart (& Lee) Weinstein, as well as numerous family members and dear friends who will miss him immeasurably. Ron was predeceased by his daughter and son-in-law, Michelle and Marc Sloan.

Ron was a force of nature. He touched so many people's lives in so many ways. He was an outstanding mentor, a wise advisor, a generous benefactor and a true and authentic friend. Whether out on the golf course, enjoying Las Vegas with his family, or sharing a cigar on the balcony, Ron's spark and sense of humor was unparalleled; he was always ready with a joke and made people smile every day. He was a natural connector, making friends out of strangers everywhere he went. Ron was known for his deep and consistent generosity with family, friends, and a wide range of organizations with which he was always involved. Ron's passing will leave an empty space in the lives of so many people. In lieu of flowers, a donation to your favorite cause in Ron's name would be appropriate and appreciated.

So sorry to hear of Ron''s passing. Enjoyed playing golf, going to dinner or just listening to a man of wisdom. May you keep Ron's memories close to your hearts, & in time the tears will turn to smiles...Ron, thanks for taking me to see the Sonic's & Bull's playoff game. Save a spot for me in your 4-some & we will enjoy dinner with our better halves after the round!

Dear Devorah
We are so sad to hear about Ron. Adam chuckled remembering how Ron referred to him as the old man. He thought he was probably ten years older. Turns out he was three years older! We loved the great messages via the Times, pleading to save the Sonics, and seeing Ron at a Sonics games, hand in hand with his grandson. Adam and Ron had dieting contests regularly. Adam won a scale! Whenever Ron saw me, he made a grand gesture of sweeping in, taking my hand and kissing it. For a second, I was a princess. Adam is blind now, but loves remembering his life and times that included the Weinstein's. With sympathy, and our love. Adam & Molly Berger

Ron was one of the first people I met when we moved to Seattle in 1991. We wee friends with his daughter and son In law, may they Rest In Peace.

I enjoyed talking about business with him, learning a lot each time we met. He will be missed by many of us.

I was so sad to hear about Ron's passing. He was a true mentor to me early and throughout my career. He taught me so much and our relationship went from boss/employee to friend. His sense of humor, generosity, business acumen, and quick wit set him apart. Ron will be greatly missed but forever remembered by all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family.
