STEIN Marvin Stuart Stein of Elkins Park ,
Pennsylvania passed away peacefully with his
children by his side on Monday December
28, 2020 at age 88. Marvin is survived by his
3 children, Steven Stein, Rhonda (Dan) Bar-
rison, Marc (Skye) Stein, 5 grandchildren, Dr
Lauren Barrison, Lindsey Barrison, Rachel
Stein, Jonathan Stein and Elizabeth Stein as
well as several nieces and nephews. After
serving in the US Air Force, Marvin held ex-
ecutive roles at CFR Leasing Corp and Lend
Lease Cars until he retired. After retiring, he
continued on his own to be active in the leas-
ing business. Marvin loved sports. In his
prime he was an avid volleyball player and
continued to play tennis until he was close to
80. He also followed football and basketball,
especially when the Eagles or 76ers were
playing. Later, Marvin passionately followed
the Univ. of Michigan Wolverines football
and basketball teams and looked forward to
critiquing each game with his granddaughter.

In addition to sports, Marvin enjoyed going to
the movies and playing the stock market. But
he always said that his favorite moments
were spending time with his family every
chance he could. Marvin chose to donate his
body to Humanity of Life for the advance-
ment of science. His hope was that there
would be a cure someday for Ulcerative Colit-
is, having had to live with this disruptive and
destructive disease himself for decades. A
disciplined person, he proudly managed his
condition on his own until his final days.

Donations in Marvin’s memory can be made
to the Crohns & Colitis Foundation at
https://www.crohnscolitisfoundation.org/ or
to the charity of your choice.

WIENER STRAUSS
Michael Alexander Strauss, age 66, beloved
son of Mona Strauss of Ocean City and
Chestertown, Maryland and the late Dr.

Robert Strauss, passed away peacefully at
the home of his mother on March 9, 2021
after a short illness. He is sadly missed. A
1976 graduate of Yale University, Michael
also held a Master’s degree in Performance
from the New England Conservatory of Mu-
sic. He played in a number of orchestras in
the United States and abroad, as principal vi-
olist of Omaha Symphony for eleven years
and the Cedar Rapids Symphony for eight
years before moving to the Eastern Shore of
Maryland in 1999 where he was principal vi-
olist of the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra
and a founding member of the Mariner String
Quartet. Michael’s role as a teacher and
mentor to string students was central to his
identity as a musician. In recent years, he
conducted a private teaching studio in Upper
Gwynedd, Pennsylvania. His lifelong quest
for ways to improve the teaching of string in-
struments resulted in the development of a
unique program that utilizes whole brain
learning. Exercise volumes for violin, viola
and cello and the teaching manual, Metatech-
nical Systems for Strings, accelerate the
learning process. The first volume develops
tone, note-reading, rhythm, and intonation.

The second volume develops shifting, glis-
sando, velocity, ear-training, and vibrato.

Both students and experienced players bene-
fit when they utilize this new and revolution-
ary teaching system for string instruments.

Michael was also a writer and a poet. Beach
Sequences, a volume of poetry written dur-
ing a winter sojourn in Ocean City, and A Tao
for Now: The Music of Lao-Tsu are being
readied for publication. Michael became a
father later in life, and relished that role. He
was extremely proud of his son Arhon
Strauss, a sophomore at Phillips Exeter
Academy, who like his father has a writing
bent. In addition to his mother, he is sur-
vived by his son Arhon; two sisters, Dr.

Sarah Strauss of Holden, Massachusetts and
Jane Strauss, Esq. of Minneapolis, Min-
nesota; five nieces and two nephews.
