WINSTON-SALEM - Paul Alexander Weinman, 72, died Saturday, April 4, 2020, at his home in Arbor Acres, Winston-Salem, NC. He was born May 24, 1947, in New York City, NY, the son of Robert Alexander Weinman, a noted sculptor, and Jane Morrison Weinman, a French teacher and opera singer.

Upon graduation from Briarcliff High School in Briarcliff Manor, NY in 1965, Mr. Weinman attended a post-graduate year at The New Hampton School in New Hampton, NH, before moving to Winston-Salem, NC, to attend Wake Forest University. Upon being drafted by the U.S. Army in 1969, he paused his studies to serve in Vietnam where he was part of Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion (Mechanized) 22nd Infantry, “The Triple Deuce,” until March 1970. His company executed combat patrols throughout “The Crescent,” a region of dense forest west of Dau Tieng, and though he did not speak often of his experience in Vietnam, it was a formative one and the beginning of a 38-year career of public service.

He returned to Wake Forest and completed his bachelor of arts in history in 1973 after which he proudly served as a Winston-Salem police officer until 1975 when he returned to Wake Forest to earn his juris doctor which he completed in 1978. Following admission to the NC State Bar in 1978, Mr. Weinman began his prosecutorial career as an assistant district attorney in Forsyth County. In 1984, he became a federal prosecutor and worked as an assistant United States attorney for the Middle District of NC until his retirement in 2012.

Mr. Weinman was a competitive spirit who loved golf, card games (particularly bridge in his final years), and sharing the accomplishments of his family. He also enjoyed spending time with family at Quaker Lake in Pawling, NY, and watching soccer with his simplest pleasure being standing against the brick wall in the last row of Spry Stadium to watch Wake Forest soccer matches.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to The Fisher House Foundation or the North Carolina Outward Bound School. Nonmonetary memorial gifts are welcome through enjoying an afternoon or evening of Wake Forest soccer with friends and family at Spry Stadium.
