Frederick B. Winterling

I was so sorry to hear about Fred. We grew up in the same era and had many similar memories; we both loved music and also enjoyed golf frequently. I looked forward to sharing music, ideas and memories with him on the Notation Forum. I and others there will keenly feel his absence. Having lost my wife nine months ago, I have a sense of how you hurt. I wish I knew some magic words to bring you comfort, but as little as they can do, you have my best wishes for it. . . mgj

My sincere condoleances with this great loss.
I will always remember Fred as a fine fellow musician.

Fred helped me out with a piano project for my aunts and uncles, and so in many ways, his life and music are still touching many lives. Please know that he was loved, and will be missed by many others in...

I was so proud of myself because I wasn't afraid of them anymore when mom and dad got back. Fred taught me how to play checkers that weekend. He didn't let me win because he said I wouldn't...
