Joseph Weiner, 92, (10/20/1927- 5/3/2020),
died in Austin, Texas. He was fun & gentle
with little children, and kind & selfless to
family, friends and strangers, alike. In addi-
tion to playing with little children on their
level (both literally and figuratively), he loved
telling jokes and stories. A favorite story of
his was his first story: He was proud that he
was born into an Orthodox Jewish family in
Washington DC and was circumcised by their
synagogue’s Cantor, the famous singer Al
Jolson’s father. He considered that his “claim
to fame.” He also would joke that, eighteen
years later, after graduating from Central
High School (Philadelphia) and right before
the end of WWII, he joined the US Army war
effort just in time to guard German POWs
that were being held stateside (who, he said,
were no trouble because they knew they were
going home soon). He had lost his father be-
fore he was 13, and his now-single mom
moved him and his 2 younger sisters to Phil-
adelphia, where he would happily spend most
of his life. After his stint in the Army, he
began working for the federal government,
first briefly for the Social Security Adminis-
tration (SSA), then the IRS. He earned a BS
(Business) from Temple University after 8
years of night school while working full time.

It had to be hard, but no one remembered
him ever complaining. While at the SSA, he
had met and married the love of his life, Ad-
ele née Shecktor, of blessed memory. They
were considered by many the perfect couple,
and they were devoted to each other until
separated by her death after almost 60 years
of marriage. He had retired from the IRS after
30 years of service, and then worked for PA
Wage & Hour, investigating and protecting
workers’ rights, before finally retiring to
spend his life with his beloved Adele. After
her death, he moved to Austin, Texas to be
closer to his son, Scott, and his family. While
there, he lived at Brookdale Gaines Ranch,
where the residents and employees loved his
daily (sometimes groaner) jokes and smiling
face. In addition to his wife, Adele, he was
preceded in death by his parents (Zelig and
Ethel nee Brint Weiner), his sister (Shirley
nee Weiner Susson) & her husband (Marvin)
& their son (Steve). He is and will re-
membered by his family and friends, and all
with whom he came in contact, including his
sister & her husband (Janet nee Weiner &
Jules Polsky), his son (Scott Weiner) & his
ex-wife that Joe & Adele always thought of as
their adult daughter (Lisa Dean), his grand-
children (Ben Weiner & Abbi Sims), his great
granddaughter (Elliott Seyer), and his many
nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grand-
nephews. There is nothing better to say about
a person than: He was a man and a mensch.

The world is a better place, and we are all
better people, because he was here. May his
memory be a blessing.
