Stuart Allen Weinstein-Bacal of Upperville passed away on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. Son of Marvin, a West Point military officer, and Mae, Weinstein-Bacal was born in Germany and spent his childhood throughout Europe and East Asia before settling in Virginia as a high school student, where he would graduate from Annandale High School.

He later earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Virginia before serving in the U.S. Army as an infantry unit commander. Following his time in the military, he earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Miami, where he met his wife, Holly. Together, they raised three children: Rachel, Max, and Sarah.

Weinstein-Bacal was an educator and lawyer, eventually establishing a law practice, Weinstein-Bacal, Miller & Vega, in Puerto Rico.

Though well traveled, Weinstein-Bacal loved his Hunt Country home of Middleburg and Upperville, where he lived for 26 years and was a familiar face at the Middleburg Tennis Club.

Weinstein-Bacal was a loving son, husband, father, and friend to many, as well as the heart and soul of his law practice. He will be missed by those who had the fortune of knowing him. ML
