Martin I. Weinberger, 98, of Fort Lee, NJ, passed away on Thursday December 2, 2021. He was born in Bayonne, NJ to the late Aaron and Freda (nee: Anger) Weinberger.

A decorated disabled veteran and the recipient of two Purple Hearts, he served his country with distinction as a first lieutenant in the army infantry during World War II. He was wounded during combat in the Huertgen Forest in Germany in advance of the Battle of the Bulge.

Following his wartime service, he joined Riedl Associates (formerly Riedl and Freede) as an advertising executive, and later worked in-house for Levolor Blinds. He received a bachelor’s and master’s degree in accounting from New York University. He was a member of Bayonne Post 18 of the Jewish War Veterans, and a life-long member of Menorah Masonic Lodge in Bayonne (currently Peninsula Masonic Lodge #99, F&AM). He holds the distinction of serving the longest tenure of a Secretary of a Masonic Lodge in New Jersey. He was a past-president of Congregation Adas Israel in Passaic, NJ, as well as its men’s club, and a member of the B’nai B’rith West Essex Lodge, Valley of Northern NJ Scottish Rite, and Lodge of the Holy Land in Tel Aviv. He served as contributing editor of the Kindertransport Association newsletter.

He was the beloved husband of the late Shirley (nee: Epstein) Weinberger, the devoted father of Alan of Saratoga Springs, NY, and Seth of Evanston, IL, the proud grandfather of Noah, Lee, Ian, and Mia Weinberger, and the loyal older brother of Dr. Howard (Anita) Weinberger of Dewitt, NY.
