Marvin Weinberg

Marvin Weinberg, age 87, of Stamford, CT died on Wednesday, November 16, at Stamford Hospital with his loving family by his side. Born in the Bronx in 1929, Marvin attended the Bronx High School of Science and the University of Oklahoma where he studied pharmacology.

In 1959, he moved to Stamford to work for a pharmaceutical company. After a few years, he accepted a position as a pharmacist at Finch’s Drug Store in Greenwich, and along with a colleague, later purchased the three-store chain where he worked for decades.

Marvin was an avid reader, tennis player, traveler, painter and sculptor. His paintings, done mostly in water color and ink, were often based on photographs from his travels around the world. His sculptures were mostly of animals, including many birds and ducks, for which he was awarded ribbons at art shows.

Marvin is survived by his wife, Marian, daughter Jane Rosenbush and her husband David of Simsbury, CT, Susan Fowler and her husband John of Santa Ynez, California, as well as three grandchildren, Jennifer, Andrew and Sajan, and two great grandchildren.

Family will be receiving guests on Sunday, November 20 from 11:00am-11:30am with a funeral service at 11:30am at Leo P.
