Rev. Eugene Winkler

Gene was a Friend. Was a good friend. He was an Excellent minister and I was able to talk to him. I remember when he and Marilyn came over to Germany and visited my family and I. We had a great time. It was so good to see them. We enjoyed having them come and visit us. Happy times and good memories. I sure will miss Gene. RIP Gene. I will miss you...

On behalf of the Social Action Commission of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, I extend condolences. Our prayers for the Winkler family will continue, but we have comfort in the realization that you know whose you are and that a great reunion is promised if you are but faithful and available to do God's will.

Our work with Jim has given us some glimpse of the 'tree' from which his branch has grown. His faith walk, commitment to lay ministry, and dedication to any task he assumes...

We have lost a dear friend and great pastor and I am glad that I was able to see and talk with him earlier this month. It is tough to lose both Gene and Marilyn in such a short time and my prayers are with his family trying to find comfort in this time of loss.

To all Gene's loved ones, our deepest sympathy. We'll never forget the love and support Gene provided for Heather after the Pan Am bombing. We still talk about those dark days and remember his kindness. There are so many memories of sermons, conversations, articles in Tidings and more. May all your wonderful memories bring you peace.

Dear Winkler Family,
You are in my prayers for healing and peace. Your father was such an important part of my life. He married Bruce and me, baptized both of my children, buried my father and married my daughter Betsy to Pat. Your father played an integral part in so many of my pivotal "life moments". I've been blessed to have known him and have learned from his wisdom and compassion. Peace be with you and your families.

I work at La Sorella do Francesca and waited on Eugene and Marilyn often. I am saddened to hear of his passing so soon after hers. However, I know they are together again. My condolences.

Dear Jim
I want you to know that I am praying for you. When we lose both parents, we know that a generation is gone. Even if they knew the Lord it's still a void that only God can fill. I know your pain and I am glad to have known you for such a short time. You are a very special person that cares for many people make sure you take the time to care for your loss.
Love in Jesus Christ.
