I remember Wint as a star athelete and a "go getter." Immediately after our graduation from LMHS I joined the U.S. Navy from which I retired 25 years later and had not lived in Kansas again. Therefore, I had no inkling of Wint's extremely successful undertakings. I am proud of him and of knowing him in our HS days. Rest in peace Wint as you are most deserving. We all miss you and remember you with warmth and reverance.

Better late than never Wint, but you know, I was always "awful proud of you". You were a pleasure and honor to have had the astute privilege to have known. I will truly miss you.

Our condolences to the Winter Family! What a fascinating man who has no doubt passed down these wonderful traits to his children and grandchildren! In knowing Wint Jr., I can see where he is a true testament to his father. God Bless! Bev and Clyde Corkill
