Philip Allen Weiner was born on September 28, 1940 in Brooklyn, NY and died peacefully on September 20, 2026 in Randolph, NJ. Phil had the joy in life of being a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather, great uncle, and friend. He recently celebrated 52 years of marriage to his wife, Susan Weiner. The two of them had a beautiful marriage where they spent their time socializing with loved ones, traveling, playing Bridge and Scrabble, and most of all, making each other laugh. Their love was a reminder to all of us how good life can be when you marry your best friend.
Phil spent his childhood in the Flatbush region of Brooklyn and went on to graduate from Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn (now part of NYU). He worked for Combustion Engineering as a Mechanical Engineer for 44 years and loved his job. In retirement, he spent time watching his grandchildren and great-nieces and was actively involved in the Unitarian Fellowship in Newton, NJ.
His first marriage produced three wonderful children and subsequently grandchildren and a great-grandson. He remained close with his sister throughout his life and her beautiful family. Phil even had the love of Susan’s side of the family, especially his niece who moved in with the couple when he was in his late 50s. He had many friends and even more admirers who were fascinated with how his brain worked.
Phil leaves behind a wife, Susan Weiner, two sons and their families: Eric and Dina Tamburro, Brittany and Joseph Byrne and their son Daniel, Breanna Tamburro, Jonathan and Pamela Weiner and their children Zachary and Kaitlyn Weiner, his sister, Sandy and Don Levy, and his niece and her family, Susan and Matthew Elias and their daughters, Cora and Leonie. His nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and great-nephews include: Jessica and Derek Kane, Erin Kane and Raghuvansh Ramaswamy, Brendan Kane, Daniel Levy, Valerie Levy, Michael and Michel Paley and their son Joshua, Jason and Karin Tucker and their children Katharine, Jason, and Jacob, and Nicholas Tucker. He is predeceased by his daughter, Rachel Hollopeter, and his sister-in-law, Katharine Tucker.
His loved ones will remember how much he enjoyed making people laugh, how he could work out any problem in his head, his breakfast recipes, his love of fishing, and his love for the NY Mets, Giants, and Rangers. He had a good life, and he will be missed dearly.
A memorial service will be held on October 16th at the Unitarian Fellowship at 1 W. Nelson Street, Newton, NJ at noon.
