Theodore "Ted" Weinberg Obituary (1940 - 2022)

Theodore “Ted” Weinberg, beloved husband of Eileen (Schrieber), brother to Bob (Patrice), devoted father to Sara (Blake) Swift, Peter Weinberg, Rachel (Mike) Krueger and adoring “Grandpa” to Nate, Jack, Campbell, Sophie, Scout, Ryan, Phoebe, Belle, Ben, Daisy and Quinn; died peacefully on March 18, 2022 in Chicago, Illinois. Ted was born on January 17, 1940 to Ben and Lottie Weinberg of Minneapolis and lived his life filled with adventure, zest and purpose. Ted loved people, and everyone he loved was considered “family”, his family was abundant. He cared deeply about humanity, the sacred right to vote and the environment. He was an avid outdoorsman, whether sailing his boat on Lake Minnetonka, stalking brook trout in lakes and streams around Grand Marais, or exploring beautiful destinations around the world, he was happiest in nature. Ted left a lifetime of positive footprints behind him, an example for others to follow, and he encouraged his grandchildren to do the same. A private burial will be held for immediate family and a celebration of Ted’s adventures and life well-lived will be held in the springtime. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Myositis Association, ACLU, or National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in his memory.
