MARTIN L. WEIDMAN

Condolences & Memories (29 entries)

• I just thought of Dr. Weidman no idea why and learned of his passing. He was my older brother and myself as well as my son's pediatrician and honestly I think I faked sick just to see him. He always made kids and parents feel at ease with his soft voice although to me he was always larger than life and would have seemed so scary he was a gentle giant. From having parents drive downtown then thankfully closer to home he was the best doctor anyone could ask for, I wish there were doctors like him in this day. You left such big shoes to fill I hope there are more like you. I will always remember you and tell stories of the doctor who once was so GREAT!! - Posted by: Colette Piche (patient) on: Feb 16, 2022

• My thoughts and prayers are with the extended family of my late teacher in the department of specialized education. Dr. Weidman's second cousin Mr. (Paul) Teskey was very kind to meet with the owner of Teskey & Associates, my mom and I when I was dealing with my father's absence in my life. That was way back when Linda Schwartz first worked with me. By August 2000, I decided not to think about my dad anymore as I was getting ready to do a modified courseload so I could graduate grade 12, two months after my special education mentors Bruce and Chuck, my school specialists Arlene, Lianne and Linda, my mom and I went to seek attention from Dr. Perlov. - Posted by: Philip (Former I.P.S.A. student) on: Dec 14, 2021

• Dr Weidman was my pediatrician and my daughter's, he was also the doctor for numerous of my cousins. Remember going to the Boyd building and then followed him to Carmen where he remained when I had my daughter. I knew who I wanted as her doctor, he was such a gentle soul, he cared for all his patients, his soothing voice. Doctor Martin Weidman was more than a doctor, he was family. Rest in peace to one of the best doctors. Thank you for your many, many years - Posted by: Corrina (Former patients) on: Mar 01, 2020

• Dear family I just saw this notice three years after Dr Weidman’s death. Our whole family loved him and we were truly lucky to have this remarkable, talented and kind man as our doctor. He always reassured us nervous parents and never made us regret seeking help. He was what a doctor should be . (Ps during one discussion, we discovered he grew up in the house then owned by my sister in law on McRae and St Cross) - Posted by: Susan (Mother of former patients) on: Feb 24, 2020

• My deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Weidman. He was my doctor and my children's doctor and was very much loved, admired and appreciated by us. I have never met another medical professional with the kind of compassion and kindness Dr. Weidman had for his patients. May you all find peace and comfort in what I can only imagine are wonderful, loving, happy memories of your dad, brother, friend. - Posted by: Shannon Thompson (Former Patient and mother of two more former patients) on: Jan 12, 2016

• I'll miss our "Tuesday's with Marty" but grateful for the lasting wisdom and fond memories which are timeless. - Posted by: Roland DeBrouwere (Friend -Tuesday group) on: Dec 20, 2015

• Dr. Weidman was my paediatrician and I remember him well, sitting in his office in the Boyd building, the cutouts of Disney's Alice in Wonderland on the walls. It seemed I was always getting sick when young, and I remember him peering in my ears, his calm and gentle demeanour, his quiet humour, his care and sympathy. Rest in Peace and my condolences to all the family. He was a wonderful man. - Posted by: Dougald Lamont (Patient) on: Dec 15, 2015

• Such a great loss for all blessed to know Marty. My uncle was a treasure of a man, mischievously hilarious, humble, wise and kind. He lived a long life and died peacefully, but as Marty might have put it, "Many would prefer to pay a fine." We love and miss you. - Posted by: Benjamin Schneider (Nephew) on: Dec 07, 2015

• I'm so sorry to hear that your brother died, Susan. He sounds like he was an accomplished and caring man, and one who was dearly loved. Take care. My thoughts are with you. Love, Susie - Posted by: Susie Askanase (Friend of Susan's) on: Dec 07, 2015

• Our deepest condolences to the family, our thoughts are with you. Marty was an example of graciousness, generosity and compassion. - Posted by: Jason Loughead and Lori Franko (friends of Sydney) on: Dec 06, 2015

• I would always love when Marty would tell me stories. He would often include my father (Phil Barnes) in hilarious recountings of their medical days together as they did a locum in Estevan, Sask. My father has a memory of having to rescue Marty from being stuck in a window as he attempted to enter his house, due to misplacing his house key. My father also claims that Marty's father told him to "promise that he'd look after Marty in Estevan." Whenever Marty would refer a situation to me, he was filled with genuine compassion and caring. This was the essence of Marty. He seemed to have time for everyone he cared about, administering his concern or descriptions of situations, whether he was on his way somewhere standing in the middle of a parking lot or in the lineup at an ATM machine (and would have to be reminded to take his cash!). I have the utmost of soft spots for him. He was a dedicated and wonderful soul, and a true mensch. My condolences to his family. May his memory be a blessing. - Posted by: Enid Barnes (Family friend and former HSC pediatric social worker) on: Dec 05, 2015

• My dear cousin was always close to me - only two years separated us, and we were friends as well as relatives. He was everything all the previous posters have said of him, and a lot more. We all have lost a remarkable person, and I am unable to add to my feelings. - Posted by: Alan Rackow (First cousin) on: Dec 05, 2015

• I saw Dr Weidman when I was younger. I was so glad that we were able to have him for our 3 children. He was so kind & knowledgeable. You always left his office feeling good as well as more enlightened than when you entered. I loved his sharing of the latest article he had perused. He always had the greatest stories of his fabulous life to share as well. We have missed him over the last few years but thought of him often, always with a smile. Deepest condolences to his family. - Posted by: Denise Reles (Mother of 3 patients, past-patient. admirer) on: Dec 05, 2015

• I'm deeply saddened by the news of Dr.Weidman's passing. He was my pediatrician until I was too old to continue seeing him; even then I kept trying. He was a gentle, kind, and caring man. Rest in Peace. Love Miss Lariss - Posted by: Larissa Stanley (patient) on: Dec 04, 2015

• Two generations have experienced the warmth and compassionate care of Dr.Weidman . He had been my pediatrician when I was growing up so there was no question that I would choose him to provide care to my four children when that time came. They loved him as much as I always had. They grew to love his humour as well as his kind and gentle manner. I remember the twinkle he had in his eye. He had an enormous amount of medical knowledge but he also had the very special gift of connecting with his young patients and their parents. He will be missed by all who loved him and that would be many. Rest In Peace, Dr. Weidman. Thank you for all your years of dedicated service. - Posted by: Angela; Craig, Jen, Scott, Colleen (former patients) on: Dec 03, 2015

• We, as well as our sons Jeff and Paul, will sadly miss Dr. Marty who took care of the boys at birth and numerous times afterwards. A story teller deluxe and a genuinely nice man whose knowledge of the Weidman family (with plenty of humour mixed in) was a sense of joy to us all. Heartfelt condolences to Sydney, Josh, Judith, Susan and families. - Posted by: Bob and Sharon Weidman (Cousins) on: Dec 03, 2015
