"The Davis Enterprise," Saturday, March 13, 2004
Rich Weinstock

Rich Weinstock, who served on the Davis City Council from 1972 to 1974, died
March 6, 2004, of a heart attack. Born Aug. 13, 1944, in Key West, Fla., he was
59 years old.

He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees at UC Berkeley.

He and his wife, Lynda, had sold their chain of five McDonald's restaurants in
Portland, Ore., just three months ago, ready to embark on a fun-filled
retirement full of travel.

Weinstock was appointed to the council in 1972 to fill out the term of
Councilman Norm Woodbury, who resigned.

The Weinstocks moved to Davis in 1969, where Rich opened the first Phone Center
Store. They relocated to San Luis Obispo in 1975 and then to the San Francisco
Bay Area. The family then moved back to Davis in 1980 and lived here until
Weinstock's retirement from AT&T in 1998.

In January 1989, they moved to Portland to operate their first McDonald's
franchise. He owned five McDonald's franchises in northeast Portland, and served
on the board of directors of the Ronald McDonald House there. Weinstock also
started a golf tournament and auction to benefit the charity.

He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Lynda; daughter, Lisa Weierich and her
husband Mark; son, Peter Weinstock and his wife Michelle; grandchildren, Kendall
and Nathan. All live in the Portland area.

A memorial celebration will begin at 3 p.m. Monday in the Sunset Room at the
Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club, 12930 Old Pumpkin Ridge Road in North Plains, Ore.,
near Portland.

In lieu of flowers, gifts in Weinstock's memory may be sent to Ronald McDonald
House Charities of Oregon and Southwest Washington, 2620 N. Commercial,
Portland, OR 97227.

"The world has lost a great man, Ronald McDonald House Charities has lost one of
its most tireless advocates, and we have all lost a wonderful friend," said Tom
Soma, executive director of the charitable organization. "But the Rich I knew
and loved would expect plenty of laughter to complement the tears we shed."
