John P. Winkler

Fourteen years has passed and I think of you all the time. WWJD has a different meaning to me. What would John do? Pretty close to the same as Jesus I am sure of that. I still have the same picture of you from your service riding in my car. You go with me everywhere! Pretty sure you keep me safe like a guardian angel. Miss you Dad!

Hi Dad,
It has been 8yrs since you have left us on this earth. I still miss you very much. Like John John, I think about what you would do when something goes wrong around the house. Today I took apart the coffee pot to see why it was not working. Only because of your teachings could I have the ability to do something like this. I have a small urn with a part of you inside. I told the kids that I most likely got your butt ha ha. My son made me cry when he said "No you have his...

Dad
I want you to know I think of you often. It is funny I will be work around the house and things will not be going right and I wonder if it is you still trying to teach me a thing or too. I will think how would Dad handle this.
I MISS YA POP

Dear Dad,
Has it really been 6yrs? I still miss you. You are on my mind often. There are so many events that happen that I think about how you would react. I love you forever Daddy.
So long till we meet again.

To my dear husband. I was just sitting here reading about all of the lives that you touched!! It makes me happy to know how much many loved you. But I loved you the most. It has been almost 4 years since you left me and it still hurts. I get this overwhelming sense of lonliness being here without you. We just went through another holiday and nothing is the same with out you. Oh I try to go on with life because you would want me to, but I would rather have it back the way it was.
I miss...

Mrs Winkler, I would like to express my sorrow at the passing of you husband
John, I would also like to apolize for the delay at local 214.

Dear Mrs. Winkler, I saw John's name in the news letter. I am very sorry for you and all the people he helped because no one else will ever do that much for other people. I worked as a clerk at CTA and played the horses a lot and a lot of times I needed money and most of the time John was the only one that would help me. He never turned me down and I will always remember him. May god be with you and your family.

I'm usually not at a loss for words. One of my traits is that I speak my mind one way or another. But all I can say is Thank You John. A few weeks back, before the surgery. Sara was talking with her Dad and threatened him with sending me back to be his caregiver while he recovered. He said to her " Then I know I'll be in good hands because he's done well with you all these years." Thank you for the greatest compliment a son in law could ever want. You will be missed!
