LEWINE: On Friday, Jan. 26, 2012, Dr. Robert A. Lewine, 85, formerly of Wheeling, W.Va., and Brownsville, Pa., passed away peacefully at home in Scottsdale, Ariz., surrounded by his loving family; beloved husband of Seena; beloved father of Barbara, Alan, Barry (Janet), and Michael (Rachel); dear grandfather of eight grandchildren; son of the late Maurice Lewine and Mary Kaufman Lewine. Lewine personified a life well lived. He served in WWII and was a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Lewine was a dedicated pediatrician who practiced for 44 years in Wheeling and was a clinical professor of pediatrics at West Virginia University. He served three years as president of the West Virginia Academy of Pediatrics. Lewine worked in “retirement” as a mentor to medical students and residents, as a volunteer at the Phoenix Indian Medical Center, in medical research and as part of an international medical relief team in Honduras. He cared for thousands of children and touched many lives in his long career. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. Bob and wife Seena were inseparable in their 60-plus years marriage. He also loved to fish, golf, travel and cheer for the Steelers. He will be missed. Services and interment will be held in Wheeling at a later date.
