Carl Wint Obituary
Carl D. Wint Jr., 73, of Wyoming, passed away early Wednesday morning, July 19, 2023, at home.
He was born July 20, 1949, in Wyoming, to the late Carl and Jean Wint.
Carl is survived by his dedicated wife of 48 years, Kathleen McDonough; and their four children, Jeremy, Amanda, Gretchen and Caitlin and their spouses, Carrie, Colin, Charlie and Jake. Carl adored his five grandchildren, Max, Finn, Lucy, Ben and Jack. He is also survived by his sisters, Donna and Kathy.
Carl graduated from West Wyoming High School and furthered his education at King's College, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1973.
In 1970, he was a member of King's College Golden Knights Club Football Championship Team and was also named Second Team All-American by the National Club Football Association.
After college, Carl joined the Wyoming Valley Giants football team, and even had a tryout with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In addition to his accomplishments in sports and education, Carl served in the U.S. Army Reserve. His dedication and commitment to his military service were exemplary.
Carl was an imposing man with a good heart. He was a likable character who would make friends wherever he went. His presence would light up a room, and his warm personality will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Carl had a passion for hobbies. He was an avid golfer and loved spending his free time on the golf course. He also enjoyed shooting darts and was always up for a friendly or not so friendly competition.
Carl would tell you his biggest accomplishment was raising his children. He was so proud to be their father. His children were his world and he always made sure they knew how proud he was of them.
Carl was a remarkable individual who touched the lives of many. His infectious personality, love for his family and passion for life will forever be remembered. May he rest in peace.
Memorial services to celebrate Carl's life will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Thursday at Metcalfe-Shaver-Kopcza Funeral Home, 504 Wyoming Ave., Wyoming. Friends and family are invited to attend and pay their respects.

I knew Carl from our days growing up in Toy Town (section of West Wyoming). Reconnected once he started coming to our "Cowboy" lunches. He thoroughly enjoyed those monthly "meetings". Carl was always ready with a smile and a friendly hello. Sad to hear of his passing. All the accolades mentioned in his obit are true. He was a really good man.

I worked with Carl in the early 1990´s at Jay Landau´s furniture store in Stroudsburg, Pa. He was a hard working guy with a great personality and sense of humor. I´m sure his family will miss him terribly....My condolences to all who loved him.
