J

erry Laevin
Weiner,
80, of West
Bloomfield died
March 21, 2021.
He was born
and raised in East
Grand Rapids. Jerry
embraced opportu-
nity at every turn
in life. He had a
50+ year legal career, was
an accomplished musician
(trumpet and piano) and
singer, talented bowler (Big
Ten bowling champion,
MSU ’63) and avid tennis
player. He took multiple
turns in local community
theater and showed strong
support of various nonprofit
organizations.
Jerry had a tremendous
sense of humor and put
great glee in leaving a room
of people laughing following
a story or witty comment.
He never shied away from
a microphone and would
quickly volunteer if hosting
duties were needed, whether
the audience was large or
small.
Jerry was there to help if
called upon by both fam-
ily or friend, from near or
far. He relished listening
to someone’s immediate
challenge and extending his
advice on a path forward.
He was dedicated to his
clients’ needs and goals,
putting in whatever the
necessary time required to
achieve success.
Jerry beamed with pride
at the accomplishments of
his seven grandchildren and
would be there for religious
and school milestones,

sporting events,
concerts and stage
productions.
Above all else, he
was most engaged as
a devoted husband,
father, grandfather
(Papa), brother and
uncle. Jerry’s “uncle”
duties extended
beyond immedi-
ate family to the countless
friends, clients and associ-
ates he touched during his
lifetime. So full of life, Jerry
rarely wasted a day. While
he is now so dearly missed,
his presence will endure in
the lives he impacted.
Mr. Weiner is survived
by his soulmate and
beloved wife of 57 years,
Karen; son and daughter-
in-law, Joel and Marcella
Weiner; daughter, Dori
Weinstein; son and daugh-
ter-in-law, A.J. and Kara
Weiner; grandchildren, Abe
Weiner, Noah Weiner, Max
Weinstein, Asa Weinstein,
Jesse Weinstein, Charlie
Weiner and Mollie Weiner.
He was the loving brother
of Irving (Fran) Weiner; the
devoted son of the late Jacob
Weiner and the late Mollie
(Laevin) Weiner.
Interment was at
Beth El Memorial Park.
