My condolences to the Winslow family. May God comfort you during this most difficult time.

Uncle Bill will be missed as the free spirit we knew him to be. His smile stretched ear to ear and encouraged us to enjoy his company, as children. Bill was my Mom's brother and we loved the accomplishments of his life, including his playful ability to chide Grandma (his mom) for her abiding protection of her grandchildren. We rode on the back of his motorcycle and had invitations to fly over Niagara Falls with him, when we were in grade school. I still regret that I didn't take that...

Dear Winslow Family,
I became accquainted with Mr. Winslow when I worked at Sinclair Community College. He would drop off updates to a booklet he had prepared for our President, Steve Johnson. It was a collection of articles regarding aviation, which he was extremely proud of. Over the years, he became a welcome visitor and good friend. We talked of his running and his family. He was proud of his family and talked of them often. When I retired in June of 2011, he came to my...

Bill was the only neighbor who lived on our street longer than we have. Will miss seeing him walking in the neighborhood. He was a good neighbor to us.

So many fond memories from my childhood. His cousin Kenelm, my father, had such great stories of the adventures he had growing up with Billy and Alvin. Condolences from our Winslow family.

I am so sorry for your loss.I remember your dad as "Uncle Bill", and he allowed all of the children in the neighborhood to sled ride in his back yard (this was back in the 50s and 60s) and he was always wonderful to us. Over the years I often saw him running and then in this last year walking in the neighborhood. He was an icon in our neighborhood and his presence will be missed.

My sympathy to Bill's family. I grew up in his neighborhood and eventually settled back into the samd neighborhood with my family. He was a daily part of my life for nearly 30 years seeing him come and go as he ran and walked. My son delighted in waving to him every day out our window as he passed. He was an inspiration to many and many who saw him daily will notice a void in our days.
So sorry for your loss.

My condolences to Bill's family. I will miss Bill's visits to Wright Library. I'm glad I got to know him.
