There aren’t enough great things to say about
Andy Weinstein. Andrew G. Weinstein MD
was born in Philadelphia, PA to George L.

Weinstein MD and Ruth Siedel Weinstein of
Bala Cynwyd, PA, and the younger brother of
Robert S. Weinstein MD. As a boy who spent
summers with his family in Long Beach Is-
land, NJ, he learned to sail and play tennis
which remained two of his great passions.

Andy attended Friends Central School, fol-
lowed by a full academic scholarship to
Swarthmore College graduating with a BS in
1969. At Swarthmore, Andy was a member of
Sigma Xi, and played varsity football and was
captain of the tennis team. He earned his
medical degree in 1973 from the University
of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, fol-
lowed by a pediatric residency at Children’s
Hospital of Philadelphia. He later became the
Chief Pediatric Resident at Hahnemann Hos-
pital of Philadelphia, completed a fellowship
in Pediatric Allergy at Children’s Hospital of
Philadelphia, and spent two years training in
Family Therapy at Philadelphia Child Guid-
ance. Andy’s professional certifications in-
cluded the American Board of Pediatrics, The
American Board of Allergy and Clinical Im-
munology, and as a trainer in Motivational In-
terviewing. Andy searched for meaningful
ways to practice medicine, and he trained
with Peggy Papp and Salvador Minuchin
from whom he learned how to engage the en-
tire family not just the patient. In 1977, Andy
met Melinda Hessan of Philadelphia, PA ,
who he married in 1979 and they remained
married for nearly 42 years. He was the be-
loved father to Abbey Heather Samet and
Robyn Weinstein, with whom he enjoyed
many Phillies games on school nights, cross
country skiing trips, summers in Maine, and
Capriotti’s subs. Andy always remained a
sailor, and he named his boat the “Melinda
Lu” after his wife. Melinda always joked that
he loved the boat more than her, but he
would never agree. During his 35-year career
as a practicing allergist with Asthma & Al-
lergy Care of Delaware, Andy treated thou-
sands of patients and published more than
30 articles focused on medication adherence
in severe asthmatics. Andy also served as
President of the Pennsylvania Allergy Associ-
ation and was a member of the American
Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immuno-
logy, The American College of Allergy Asthma
and Immunology, the Medical Society of
Delaware, Delaware Asthma and Allergy Soci-
ety. In addition to his wife and daughters,
Andy is survived by his son-in-law Matt
Goldich, and his four grandchildren, Alex and
Astrid “Gigi” Pappanicholas, and Graham and
Sylvie Goldich. He was a devoted grandfath-
er who loved sharing his passion for learning
with his grandchildren. His grandson Alex
lovingly nicknamed him “Grandpa Sailboat”
at age one and a half, and Graham always
looked forward to “Grandpa Time.” All of his
grandchildren loved his unpredictable and
sometimes strange sense of humor. If you

of Andy, we are suggesting Allergy & Asthma

Medicine. GOLDSTEINS' ROSENBERG'S
