Wayne Louis Winkel

My Wonderful Father passed away on May 11, 2016. I was given the extreme honor of eulogizing him at the funeral Mass. It's going on 3 years already since God guided him home. I miss you everyday. I know you and Mom are together with Jesus and you're free of all your Earthly illnesses and pain.

Eulogy, Ode to Dad

My father was a very quiet, shy man Oh wait, wrong speech!

Dear Dad, I was just looking at that sweet picture that I took of you and Mom holding hands and walking away after we spent an hour or two together on the beach. I had no way of knowing that you would be gone from us in less than 8 months. You have left such a void in my heart but I am comforted to know that you are home. I know that you will be there waiting with open arms when I am called as well. I hope I did you proud with the eulogy. I will always be my Father's Daughter. ♥ xoxojen

So sorry Jenny, we were both blessed with wonderful fathers and it is a great sadness when they are gone. My thoughts are with you and your family. Emily

RIP Mr. Winkel
Deepest Sympathy to all the family. I enjoyed your services and our relationship long ago - i.e. Lil' Flower - A.B.C. Auto Sales - Haven, WI
and a Fellow American Chair employee

Beth, may the peace in knowing Dad is in a better place console the ache gnawing at you heart. Blessings to you, family and friends.

To all the Winkles, Roger and I send our love and condolences for your loss.

How can one think of Wayne without a smile on your face? He had something to share on every subject, but especially his children and Pat. A kind and gentle man with a love for history and his love for the area he was born in....(holy land).....I never tired of his stories and truly appreciated his ability with my taxes..which always kept us up to date on the continuing saga.
We are all better people for having known him and you "kids" are a story onto yourselves. No one was more proud...

Our sincere sympathy to all of you. Sending hugs to get through this trying time.

Lieber Vater,
Ich werde immer dein lebewesen sein.
