James Weinstein

James L. Weinstein passed away at his home on September 5th — he was 71 years old. He is survived by his beloved wife, Fran, his children, Jeff (Jordan) and Lisa (Gop), as well as his three granddaughters, Blake, Georgia, and Lily.

He spent his career in healthcare, obtaining a Master’s in Public Health and an MBA. His last position was as Chief Financial Officer of Penn Medicine at Home, where he continued to contribute up to his passing.

Outside of work, Jim was very engaged in politics — a longstanding passion. He was also an active volunteer, working with the Jewish Federation and his local food bank.

He also had a deep love for sports, especially his alma mater, the University of Michigan. This had special significance because this is where he met his wife, whom he adored for 47 years.

Above all else, Jim loved his family. He was there celebrating his children’s lives, from the smallest of accomplishments to the most momentous occasions. He treasured his granddaughters.

A graveside service will be held Monday, September 8th, at 11 a.m. at Roosevelt Memorial Park. Contributions in his memory may be made to the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia www.jewishphilly.org  or to the Parkinson’s Research Foundation parkinsonhope.org or to the charity of the donor’s choice.
