George Winterling

I am a native of Jacksonville and as a youngster I remember George Winterling with his sharpie writing the temperatures down on a local map. I grew up here watching him till I was an adult. There were only 3 tv channels here growing up Channel 12 NBC, 17 ABC, and Channel 4 was CBS then. Of course you had a PBS channel. I remember my grandparents watching George for weather he even had a garden segment he would share with his viewers. He made a huge impact to people and a HUGE impact to...

I was stunned to hear of the passing of the great George Winterling - in 1968, he came to my home in Palatka to interview me (I was approaching 6 years old) about my interest in meteorology. Mr. Winterling had read about my interest in the subject in the Florida Times-Union.

IAM TRULY AT A LOSE,GODS GOT ONE OF THE BEST,

My family grew up watching TV4 and Mr. Winterling. We always enjoyed the way he would present the weather and he was spot on in his prediction of Hurricane Dora.

I meet Mr. Winterling during his tenure at the former home of TV4 and enjoyed our talk. He will be remembered by all who watched him and knew him.

Love to his family and colleagues.

Rest in peace Mr. Winterling.
