Frank Joseph Weinstock, MD, age 89, died in Boca Raton FL on July 8th, 2022, with his family by his side. He was born in Newark, NJ, to Marguerite and Michael Weinstock.  His father was a surgeon who served on a troop carrier in World War II, and Frank, his mother, brother Tom and sister Joan moved from Newark to San Fransisco to be near him during his service, before settling back in Newark.  Frank graduated from Newark High School and Allegheny College and then attended medical school in Lausanne, Switzerland, before finishing his degree at Syracuse University Medical School. He went on to complete his ophthalmology residency at University Hospitals in Cleveland, where he met the love of his life Saragale Reinglass of Canton. They married within a few months, and after a short stint in the public health service in Washington D.C., returned to Canton to start a family.

Frank opened Canton Ophthalmology Associates in the 1960's, where the door shingle misspelled ophthalmology for years until a patient pointed out the mistake. Frank took this in good humor, as he did everything in life. In addition to serving as the physician for the Perry Panthers High School football team, Frank served several terms on the school board arranging the timing of his presidency so he could personally hand each of his children their diplomas upon their graduation.  He was everyone's "go to" doctor, from his friends he accompanied to doctor's appointments to the cataract patients he treated on his medical missions to Nepal and Papua New Guinea.

He was the author of hundreds of articles and multiple books on diseases of the eye,  lectured internationally and practiced medicine until the age of 78. He received a lifetime achievement award from the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Frank was a gentle and kind person who will be remembered for his positive outlook on life and his devotion to family. He loved taking his family to Chautauqua each summer where he enjoyed walking to concerts in the amphitheater and eating ice cream at intermission, and joined his grandchildren inner tubing well into his 80's.  His family will remember him most for his giant hugs and his repeated reminders that, "Family is what's most important."

Frank is survived by his wife of 60 years, Saragale and the three children he adored: Michael Weinstock (Beth) of Columbus, Ohio,  Jill Deutch (Ted) of Boca Raton, FL and Jeffrey Weinstock (Lillian Archbold) of Boca Raton, FL. He was "Poppy" to his beloved grandchildren Olivia, Eli, Theo and Annie Weinstock; Gabby, Serena and Cole Deutch; and Ryan and Kyle Weinstock. Frank is also survived by many nieces and nephews with whom he maintained a close relationship. He was a mentor to many who loved him and looked up to him. He is preceded in death by his parents Marguerite and Michael, his siblings Joan and Tom, and his grandson Eli who loved to ride the Chautauqua tram over and over again with his Poppy.

A service will be held at Beit Ha'am (Temple Israel) 432 30th St. NW in Canton, Ohio, on Tuesday July 12th at 11AM.
