Leo Winters

Dear Juliana, I was so sorry to hear from Nancy about your father's recent death. I know that this has been a difficult time and I'm thinking of you. I so appreciated reading about your father and his remarkable career. I am thinking of you and you are in my thoughts. I hope we will be together soon--as always. Fondly, Stephanie '77

Juliana, I know that you will have amazing memories of your great father that will sustain you during the times ahead. What a remarkable life he had, and what a wonderful person he was. I will never forgot meeting him. We are thinking of you.

Mr. Winters was a man I knew through my father, the late CH Spearman, Jr. My father and Leo met in the 60's and kept in touch for the rest of their lives.

On behalf of the Spearman family, our prayers and thoughts are with Leo's family.

Remember, you don't have to cast a big shadow to be a big man. Mr. Winters contributed a great deal to our great state of Oklahoma.

He did not know me from “Adam” and was willing to give me the opportunity to see if I could move to a big city, work in a political office and learn the jobs that were before me to learn and I will always be grateful for that lifetime experience. Since leaving his office, I’ve...

Thanks to Mr. Winters, I had a job while attending college at OU - and afterwards. I worked in the State Treasurer's office for nearly five years. I started out as a general flunky in the main office, then began doing microfilm work, and eventually had the opportunity to work in the data processing department. Because of that opportunity, I've enjoyed nearly 28 years in this field! Thankfully, Mr. Winters firmly believed in helping folks who were truly willing to work get a good start - and...

My dad Floyd Lenhart worked for Leo back in 1972 along with C.O Sage he worked on the horse ranch southeast of O.C. Ok. My families thoughts and prayers are with your families.
