Chief Winningham was one of the best Chiefs that I have worked for and he truly cared about the people he has helped. At the Kun he always watched over some of us "kids" to keep us out of trouble. I'll always remember making sure he had his coffee every morning as his station chief!

Our prayers go out to you and your family during this time of need. I knew Chief Rod while in Korea as well at Dyess A.F.B. while he conducted inspections of our Dpartments. He was a true proffesional and I learned a great deal from him. We brought back a table from Korea for him and he picked it up from us while he inspected our Department at Dyess. I know him to be a friend and an outstanding Fire Protection Chief. He will truely be missed. May God Bless you and yours always.

Faithfully serving his country from 1958-1988.
He paid the debt to his country,
In the fight for right, he has won;
And the King of Kings has spoken
"Thou faithful one, well done."
