Ira was fun. A reflection of his love for life. As a young man I worked for a beloved uncle one chicago summer, Art Lipski, who owned a bicycle shop near 16th and Indiana(?) ave. Often, because they were great friends, they commuted together. When I was with them in the car, I mostly listened.  Ira's personality was great. He loved cigars, and made us laugh.
I never knew he was a prisoner of war!  What two board games did he invent, I wonder. Please accept my condolences.

My condolences. As I read the article about Mr. Weinstein the Tribune, I kept thinking that it belonged on page one.

Laura & Steve, 
You have my deepest condolences for your loss.  While I of course never met Ira, I'm certain the world will be a lesser place with his passing.  And lastly, I hope your grief is assuaged by your fond memories of having Ira in your lives.

My condolences to family and friends of Mr. Ira Weinstein. I never met this man but read his story and his experiences and learned a very valuable bit of history about WWII that I had not known, but I will learn more about the Kassel Mission on 9-27-1944 for sure. As a Proud American and a member of the Warriors' Watch Riders. God bless you Sir and rest in peace you have earned it. Dave Fjeldheim.

My condolences to the family, I just saw the article in the Tribune today.  I have memories of Ira from family events many years ago.  My parents always spoke highly of him.  

My thoughts are with you.

I met Mr Weinstein at an air show at O'hare airport a number of years ago and heard his story along with other air force veterans.I also purchased the tape "Behind the Wire" . I just wanted you to know I never forgot his story and I will be showing his first hand account to my children. My Dad was in the Third Division during W.W.2 and he was always impressed with the courage the air force had never breaking formation and flying through the anti air craft fire.I hope it's a comfort for the family to know that what your Dad and these brave men did is forever  written in our military history and will never be forgotten.

To an amazing person. To have known him was a gift. An inspiration and true friend.

Ira became a recent but very treasured friend to both of us. Time spent with Marilyn and him are among our favorite memories.  His talents seemed endless.  How greatly he will be missed.  
Joan and Martin O'Malley

Mary, My sincere condolences.  Keep the good memories.   Stay well., Doris Liberman

Terri and Laura,
I have such fond memories of your dad from high school through the present. May his memory be a blessing and source of strength to all of you.

Dearest Mary, our hearts are broken for you and the rest of Ira's family. We enjoyed spending time with you and Ira in Palm Beach, and will always cherish memories of our visit to the turtle rescue and the impromptu party by the pool. Ira is a hero in our eyes and we will never forget him. Mary, take care of yourself and we will see you soon. 

Much love, Jim and Alison
