Dear Gwen & Family,
Carlos and I were sorry we couldn't be at the funeral. You will never know the influence Ned had on me as a young "Idaho farm girl" who came to the big city for the first time. The years I spent as his secretary were such fun, learning years, and his influence was so great in my life. Then to have the privilege of knowing most of your family and working so many years with Ted have been fulfilling experiences for us. He is and was a great, great man. As we attended our new ward in North Salt Lake for the first time, someone bore their testimony and talked about the influence he had been on their life. His influence has spread far and wide, and no one will ever know the small and large acts of kindness he performed. We love the Winders and are grateful for the associations we have shared!

Ned Winder was the dynamic "interim" mission president we needed out in the Micronesia-Guam Mission. I loved working with him and found out a lot about laughing and having fun. Truly, some of my fondest memories in my 44 years is when he & Gwen (and "baby" Nancy) filled in while our permanent mission president was recovering from open-heart surgery. He (and they) cheered us up, helped us square up our shoulders, and get us back on track. Ned was - and still is! - a great man.

Brother Winder married us in the Salt Lake Temple. He gave us a gift, along with a hand written note. Even though he was funny and made the ceremony so special, you could feel his dedication to his beliefs about the covenants he was presiding over. Brother Winder is a powerful advocate for the Lord. God bless and keep you as you deal with the seperation from this great man.

I first met Bro. Winder over 30 years ago while working for the LDS Church. I was sitting at a little table by myself having lunch. A man walked over and sat down and struck up a conversation with me. I thought, "Who IS this guy?" I soon found out. What a kind, friendly and genuine man. I have brought my children to the Winder Dairy since they were tiny and Christmas scones and hot chocolate are now a tradition. We love to drive down Winder Lane and see all the lights. Ned talked with us at the dairy and made us feel like we were at home. I love him and will miss him very much. He has certainly earned a great reward. Much love and deepest sympathy.

Dear Ned Winder Family,
I have long enjoyed hearing Ned Winder's voice at beginning of the Days of '47 Parade in Salt Lake. He truly did have a great sense of Humor. I was present when he sealed one of my friends in the Salt Lake Temple, and I knew that I wanted him to seal me to my wife. My wife had a broken foot when we got married, and he had some sweet, funny, and memorable comments for us. He helped us to have a very nice and very memorable day. As a family we went to Winder Dairy for hot chocolate and egg nog after looking at Christmas lights. I know that Ned made great contributions to our community and will continue to do so in another community.
Love Dave and Jen Petersen, and our 3 children

To the Winder Family:
Thank you so very much for the service of your wonderful husband and father.
I first met Brother Winder while attending the University of Utah. Once a month our singles stake would be assigned to do sealing sessions early on Saturday mornings in the Salt Lake Temple. Those who got there early were blessed to do a session with Brother Ned.
I can only imagine that Brother Winder has probably performed more marriages and sealings than any of us can imagine.
When my then fiancee told me that she had set up a sealer at the Salt Lake Temple to perform our marriage I was disappointed because I wanted to ask Brother Winder to do it. What I didn't know is that she had beat me to it. He had served as her grandmother's mission president.
As a student tour guide in the late 70s for new Church leaders from Spanish speaking countries who came to Salt Lake to attend conference, I always looked forward to translating for Brother Ned when we arrived at his office in the Church Office Building. He would always tell them that he loved his office because he could look the Angel Moroni right in the eye... refering to the statue on top of the Salt Lake Temple.
Last month on August 5th we were privileged to attend a wedding in the Salt Lake Temple. While waiting for the couple and the sealer to arrive I said to my wife, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if Ned Winder walked in to perform the sealing?"
Tears of gratitude filled our eyes and feelings of love for the tender mercies of Our Heavenly Father when Brother Ned walked in to perform the sealing.
How thankful we were to be able to tell him about our little family with 7 children that he helped to get started. I will always cherish the memory of being able to thank him once again and to give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
His marvelous sense of humor remained sharp to the end!
Our prayers are with you as you mourn your separation with your wonderful husband and father.
Sincerely,
Tibi Maw

Sister Winder,
We have never met, however, your husband performed the sealing ceremony August 2, 2005 for my oldest daughter. She was thrilled as he so warmly greeted her and helped her feel at ease with her inexperience in the temple. She had passed him in the hallway as he was handing out "breakfast" (candies) to other temple workers before she met him. He has a way of making the temple sealing ceremony such a joyful and wonderful occasion. I have been privileged to be able to witness many ceremonies Brother Winder officiated. I wish they would hold "Ned Winder Temple Sealing 101" for others to glean from. He has a way of helping the bride and groom feel special and creates and environment for all of us to celebrate that wonderful day. Thank you for supporting him in his temple assignment all of these years. We have truly been blessed with his delightful spirit.
May you be granted comfort at this difficult time. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Ned Winder Family,
We were saddened to learn of Ned's passing. He has truely blessed the lives of our family and many other families on the earth. We pray that our Heavenly Father will bless and comfort you, Gwen, and your family as you move on through life. May you receive the comfort, from a loving Heavenly Father, that you are so deserving of. Brother Ned performed marriages and spoke at funerals for our family, and we do so appreciate and love him for his love and words of wisdom. His love for our Savior and all mankind flowed from him and was felt by everyone he had contact with. Thank you, Ned, for your goodness and service.

I go WAY back with Bishop Winder, and he will always be "Bishop" to me. I was a member of the University 13th Singles Ward when he was assigned as the Stake High Counselman over our Ward. To the person, everyone fell in love with his spirituality, kindness, fun, and most of all sense of humor.
The day our former Bishop was to be released, the chapel was packed to overflowing in hopes that Ned would be called as our Bishop. We all held our breath until indeed his name was announced as the new Bishop. In absolute unison, there was an enormous sigh of relief among the members, almost as if it had been rehearsed. When we realized what we had done, everyone broke out into laughter. We could not have been more delighted to have him as our new Bishop.
He lead us though many fun, funny, loving experiences. A few years later, two other friends from that Ward and I were living in Los Angeles and car pooled back to Salt Lake for the holidays. We spent several hours of the ride sharing "Ned Winder stories". We laughed so hard tears were streaming down our faces.
He would take us on camp outs, or weekend trips. I will never forget one trip where we were all housed in a large dormitory type building with blankets hung up to divide the guys from the gals. Bishop was walking around in his knee-length PJs, wearing a cowboy hat and cowboy boots, just checking to make sure everyone was OK. He would also tell us that when lying in our sleeping bags on a camp out, to be sure we were on our backs when saying our prayers so they would go "up" and not "down".
One of my favorite memories was after Stake Conference one Sunday. Those were the days when Conference was in the morning and you still had Sacrament Service in the evening. Our Stake Conference had been wonderful, and Bishop stood in the pulpit that evening, full of the spirit, and bore his testimony of how special that morning's meeting had been. Then with the greatest sincerity, he stated that it had just been "a spiritual enema".
My memories of those days go on and on and on. I have often thought of him and his family so fondly and knew that being in his ward was one of the most fun experiences I have been blessed to have in this life.
My very deepest sympathy to his wonderful wife and family. The earth has lost one of its most special men, but Heaven is brighter and blessed to now have him. He will be missed by many, many people who have loved him over the years.

To the Winder Family: I was very sorry to hear of Ned's passing. I grew up in the Granger 2nd/Jordan North 8th Ward. We loved to see Ned when we would come into the dairy and store. He was so kind and could always get a laugh out of us. May God comfort you at this time and may you know that Ned is with Him and continues on his journey. All our best, Jenifer (Brinley) Herbert and family

Dear Gwen and your Winder Family -
The dwindling numbers of us surviving crew members of the USS Hadley (DD774) of WWII are saddened by the loss of our shipmate Ned. The obituary and other guest book entries are a great tribute to his life-long service to his family, church, community and to his country,
He and Gwen were able to attend 2 of the ship's reunions: in Willliamsburg, VA in 1993, and in San Diego. CA in 1995. He and I share the same month and year of birth, and we both have reached 57 years of marriage. I remember that he conducted a few church services on the ship, when possible, in 1944-45. He worked with me in the Combat Information Center (Radar equipment). All remember him as a "straight arrow" - - a man of impeccable moral traits.
To everyone who knew him, his passing is a great loss.

Dear Winder Family...
We are sorry for your loss of "Ned". We are neighbors of Nancy (Brent) Yorgenson in St. George. In the few years we have known them, we have found that the whole family are very wonderful people. Ned will be sorely missed. We are sure that he is now with our Heavenly Father. Please accept our deepest condolences.

Dear Winder Family,
My condolences and sympathy to you in the loss of President Winder. I think of one of the old gospel songs President Winder chose to sing in our missionary quartet (President Winder & three elders) in 1965 as we traveled through northern Florida and southern Georgia presenting Sunday meetings to the various Church Branches: "When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder I'll Be There" -- I am certain he now is.

To the Winder Family:
On behalf of the Fred A. Schwendiman family we would like to send our love and admiration for Ned. He was a great friend to Dad and as a family felt very honored to have known him. We are very proud to know that among the "many" couples he married in the Salt Lake Temple, three of our daughters were in this great group. We will miss him very much and wish the very best for his great family.

Dear Winder Family,
Ned Winder will be greatly missed by Cyprus High School. He was a great supporter of the school and made the time each year to attend the Senior Banquet and award the "Hugh Cannon" award to the "Outstanding Male Senior." We always looked forward to his presentation in which he would honor the young man receiveing the award. His wonderful sense of humor was used throughout. His sweet wife was always in attendance with him and he never failed to mention her and give her honor during his presentation. What a great example of a loving married couple. Thank you Ned Winder for your unfailing support of the Cyprus Pirates and showing all of us a great example of a life well lived.

Dear Winder Family,
My heart was saddened and I couldn't help but shed some tears when I hear Ned had passed away. I really didn't know him personally but attended many weddings he performed and observed him while growing up in West Valley. It was always a pleasure and I came away committed to do better. He only knew me as one of those Ferrins but he always had a hug and kiss for me. I only know his granddaughter Rosie. She is a tribute to him and your family. She has attended many of our family, school and church functions and is an absolute delight just like her grandfather. May you find comfort in knowing he is being received with open arms and is hugging and loving and cheering all your family and friends on the other side. Only one Ned Winder, he will be missed be all who ever knew him. love and comfort to you all in your time of grief. Karrie Palmer

Dear Winder Family, We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Ned. It has been a few years since moving to California since we saw him. But what a marvelous inspiration the whole family was to us living a few blocks away. Our sons and daughter greatly admired his advice and his sense of humor. What a special treat it was for our family to have him as the sealer on my son Dave and Jolynn (Gagons)request to seal them in the Temple. We will always cherish the many memories of our days in the Jordan North Stake and how all the Winders touched our lives many times over. Our love and prayers are with all of you at this time and we feel very blessed to have had this dear man a part of our lives. May Gods choicest blessings be with all of you .

Dear Winder Family:
My love and prayers go out to each of you at the passing of a wonderful man, Ned Winder. He was always so kind and generous to me and my family. It was a pleasure to be around him. He always brought a smile to my face. He always had a great hug and kiss to share. I remember fondly going with Ned and Karen to the state basketball tournament. When we were with Ned we were treated like celebrities. Ned also married my brother and sister-in-law and many friends. Ned and Gwen have raised wonderful children--many of whom I had the opportunity to go to school with and become friends with. His legacy will certainly live on with each of his children. Doug, Karen, Kent, Janet and the others--please know my prayers are with you!
Sincerely,
Barbara Thompson

We know he will be missed.

NED WILL DEFINITELY BE MISSED BY MANY. MY HUSBAND HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF WORKING WITH NED AT WINDER DAIRY. WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I WENT BY HIS PLACE TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT MARRYING US IN THE SALT LAKE TEMPLE, HE HELD ME AND GAVE ME A BIG KISS. HE ALWAYS HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL SENSE OF HUMOR, AND MADE YOU FEEL AT EASE AND COMFORTABLE IN HIS PRESENSE. JUST AS WE REMEMBER THE DAY WE MARRIED EACH OTHER, WE WILL REMEMBER NED BEING THERE AND BEING A DEAR FRIEND. WHAT A WONDERFUL MAN.

Our deepest sympathy is with you with the passing of an incredible man and leader in the church. Ned married my husband and I in January of 2003. My husband and I had all sorts of nerves and our stomachs were churning with excitement. I'll never forget when Ned turned out the lights in the elevator in the Salt Lake temple and told us to hurry and kiss. Such a sense of humor! He was also an incredibly thoughtful man! Which was so evident, when he took the time to come to our reception and even bring us a thoughtful gift. From the short time I met him, I have learned much from him.
Sincerely,
Natalie and Cody Done

What a sad day for us all! Brother Winder was such a wonderful, fun man and a very special person in our lives. He married my 3 sons(because we requested him!) to their sweethearts in the Salt Lake Temple in 1998, 2001, and 2003! His sense of humor and great spirit was so delightful and made each sealing so very special and memorable! We will always remember him and feel so blessed to have known him!

Dear Winder Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss of such a great family member. Ned game me my patriarchal blessing many years ago and what a beautiful blessing it was. He was a great man, and I know the loss you are feeling, but what a reunion he is having on the other side of the viel. Please accept my deepest symphony.

I have before me the naval Bible inscribed to my late husband, Charlie, as follows: "To "Candy", one of my best friends. Best wishes "Rev" Winder (Ships Chaplain) May 25, 1945." Enclosed with the Bible, he had written the following: "Scriptures used for sea burial of men to died in action May 11, 1945, Okinawa, U.S.S. Hugh W. Hadley, DD 774, Ships Chaplin (sic) E. C. Winder, Psalms Chapter 23...."
This Bible was treasured by my husband and is now treasured by me. I met "Rev" at one of the earlier Hadley reunions and enjoyed his wonderful sense of humor and his warm connection with his shipmates.
My heart goes out to his family and friends.

Sister Winder, So glad I met your husband at the Missionary picnic earlier this summer. It was good to finally meet the "Elder Ned Winder" that my mother-in-law, Alice Deaton Timmons, so often spoke of. She fondly remembered the days when he spent part of his first mission in Spartanburg, South Carolina. He obviously made a very good impression on her family. I know they will be very happy to see him again on the other side of the Veil. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of such a wonderful man. He was a good friend of my grandfather, Ace Wallace, and I'm sure they are sharing a nice reunion in heaven. I met Ned when I was about 16 years old, and he made me feel so special that I could never forget him. Although his schedule didn't allow him to seal my husband and I in the Salt Lake Temple, he did give my husband his patriaricle blessing, and it was beautiful. My deepest sympathy and heartfelt wish for peace and comfort goes out to his family left behind.

I was sad to hear about Ned. He sealed my husband and I 6 years ago. I saw him a couple years ago at a crimson club dinner before a U of U basketball game and said, "I don't know if you remember me but you married me." He said, "Don't tell my wife". It made me laugh and he came and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I will always remember Ned. He is a wonderful man.

I will never forget Ned Winder, as I marched or if I were on a float, I always could hear his fun and encouraging comments from his microphone as he introduced each entry of the parade. Ned Winder has always been a positive role model in my life. First as my milkman and then as the strong but humble man who sealed my husband and I at the Salt Lake Temple. My heart goes out to his family and hope they know exactly how many people Ned Winder (my milkman) effected. I will remember him forever.

Dear Winder Family,
I, too, would like to send my condolences. What a wonderful man we have lost on this side of the veil, but those in heaven must be rejoicing. Pres. Winder married two of my children (Kim to Rebecca Foerster and Kristen to Eric Kohler). Those were by far the most wonderful sealings we have witnessed in the temple. His warmth and humor cannot be matched. Our family thanks yours for sharing him with us and so many others.
Karen and Kent, I was your geometry teacher many years ago at Granger High. I was probably Miss McGuire back then. I can see why you were such great teenagers!!

Dear Family,
I grew up coming to the winder dairy with my father who always dreamed of being a dairy man. Ned was always gracious to share the experience with my dad and I still remeber his kindness. I had the pleasure several times of witnessing marraige sealings with Ned he was a joy to listen to. I was so happy when he agreed to marry my daughter Jenny Llewellyn on April 30th of this year to the love of her life Ryan Boren. It was a day I will never forget Jenny was so sick and it was hard for me to see her have to worry on her wedding day. As she left me to go meet her new husband, I told her all would be well and to have faith. As she walked off the elevator she turned white and started to "throw-up" thats all she needed but Ned happened to be there and helped her to a room. Jenny said he got her a damp wash cloth and held her hand. He then gave her a beautiful blessing.It was a special day Jenny will always remember,even though she was sick he managed to make all that disapear. It seemed forever as we were all waiting for the couple to arrive. Ned came in first and came right to me to let me know she was alright. He was so loving and kind to my daughter and said all the right things to both Jenny and Ryan. Our family has gone through a tremendous amount of mediacl and financial adversity my oldest son who shares two terminal illness with me was also there to be able to withness his sister get married, we also had our Casey, came back to the temple for the first time since the auto accient and the loss of both his wife and 19 day old baby, we had a very special day and Ned was very in tune. I know he sensed the angels that were there and acknowleged the joy of eternal families several times,I have a great admiration for his humor and my son Jeremy who has two terminal illness, has made him his mentor.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful man with my family. I will forever have him in my heart.
A grateful mother,

I still remember the day my Jefferson Elementary schoolmates & I went to Winder Dairy for a field trip. Ned gave us the "grand tour" and then gave me a business card that he wrote a personal note on the back for me. It is in my Treasures of Truth book. For this city girl that visit to the dairy was such an awesome experience! I think that was when I truly learned to appreciate the farm life and helped me make the adjustment from city life to farm life just a few short years later when my family moved to a farm. Thank you, Ned Winder.

My family (The Sparrows from Idaho) have sat by the Winders at the 24th of July parade for years. When my husband asked me to marry him I asked Brother Winder to seal us on Feb. 12 1999.
We continue to fight "Temple Breath" just like Brother Winder told us to do before he sealed us.
THANK YOU!!!!

We were saddened to hear of Ned's passing yesterday. I started to think of all of the wonderful memories I have of Ned.
I am a former neighbor and friend of Nancy's. When Nancy and I were in high school together I was over at her house one day. Ned cornered me outside in front of the juniper bush. He said "I'm all sweaty so I won't give you a hug (he'd been working in the yard) but when you're ready I
want to marry you in the Salt Lake Temple". For a minute I thought he was proposing, then I realized, of course, he was offering to seal me and my future husband. I'll never forget that funny little second of not quite understanding what he meant. What a sweetheart!
Ned did seal my husband and I in the Salt Lake temple 22 years ago. It was a wonderful sealing and he did a beautiful job. Even better, he sealed our two adopted daughters to us as well.
Ned interviewed us before we were married and gave us wonderful advice that I remember to this day. He and Gwen also gave us our first wedding present - a silver candle snufter.
I was a neighbor of Ned and Gwen in Sherm Circle. We bought a small house from them while my husband was going to school at the U. Our money was tight and he would sometimes tuck a $100 bill into a Christmas card. It
meant so much to us. He was so generous.
When we lived at Sherm Circle, we were treated almost like family by Ned and Gwen - even getting invitations to the parade and the high school basketball tournament.
Ned is a gem who will be greatly missed. I look forward to seeing him again.
Love,
Alan & Dayna Hughes and Family

My heart was broken today when I heard of Ned's passing. Ned spoke at my father's (Max Petersen) funeral 2 years ago I remember as a young boy listening to my father's stories of working with Ned and being his friend for life. Now I suppose they can continue their friendship. Ned was a great friend to my mom after dad passed away. He knew exactly what to say and when to say it to bring a smile to our faces as we were grieving our loss. Thank You Ned for always being there when needed.
Rosanne Orgill

So sorry and shocked to hear about Neds passing. The first time I met Ned was 30 years ago when I was in his ward and just newly married and lived in the Karen Lee apartments. I remember calling at his house for something and Ned wanting to know who was calling. I said that it was just Rosanne. He said "Just Rosanne? You say "this is Rosanne, not just Rosanne, he never forgot my name. I would see Ned out walking at 6 in the morning. When I jogged by Winder lane he would always wave and say something funny. I was so impressed with that. He always took an effort to know everyones names. Ned married four of my children. John, Rochelle, Davey and Julianne. He said he felt like he was our personal pastor. When Davey and Julianne got married Ned wasn't doing sealings anymore but he said he would do theirs. Family and friends wondered how I was able to get Ned (the most wanted sealer) to marry my children. I just would say I have connetions. He told Julianne in Elementry school that he would marry her and he did years later. Ned always was kind and loving and had such a great sense of humor. I was honored to get to know Ned, even tho I only lived in his ward for 9 months I never forgot him and he always remembered my name. Thankyou Ned for your kindness and love you showed to those who crossed your path. I have 2 more children, Amanda and James that are very saddened that you won't be there to marry them. James is friends with Neds grandsons Regan and Nick, who are great boys. Thanks for your family and your love, goobye Ned Winder you will be missed.

We will feel the loss of Ned in our neighborhood. When our son Alan became an Eagle Scout, he received a note of congratulations from Ned. We could always count on a wave from him whenever we drove past and he was out in his yard. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Dear Winder family,
Thank you for always making us feel warm and welcome. We have many fond memories, but the number one memory is probably the "dinging glass signal" for Matt to kiss Aimee at their wedding breakfast. The ball point pen note-taking on his ankles is a close second.
Our love and prayers are with each of you. May you find the peace and comfort President Winder wishes for you.

To the Dear Winder Family,
I have a little bit of history, with the wonderful WINDER name in my family....
My Grandfather, Ray B.Bowen worked for Winder Dairy for many many years, as well as some of his children from time to time.
The Winders were always held in highest regards and respect.
It was our honor to have Ned Perform our sealing to My husband and I, 7 years ago.
My grandfather was present, and although very frail, it was a nice reunion of eternal friends between Ned and My grandfather.
Ned had a wonderful sense of humor,
When we were escorted to the sealing room, through an elevator, Ned, some wonderful sisters and my husband and I were in the elevator.
Ned quickly leaned over and turned off the lights in the elevator, and quickly said, "Alright, one more smooch before your hitched." And then he turned the lights back on.
And all I could think of at that moment was, What in the world are these Sisters thinking?
But, now I look back, and smile at that wonderful experience, and the advice he gave to us.
He also gave us two crisp $2 dollar bills, and wrote in a priceless card, 2 two + 2 Together = 4 Forever.
I thank him for the time he sacrificed to seal us and to make memories of the beginning of our eternities together as a husband and wife.
There is so much that can be said about Ned,
We just wanted to express our thanks, and Love to all of you, and especially to Ned.
Sincerely,
Makei and Julie Tamala

Into every life enters people who leave indelible and permanent prints. Ned Winder and his family have left very big ones on my life that have enriched me and my family. As a young missionary serving under President Winder, I learned much from each of them about total commitment, faithfulness, love, loyalty, and humor. Among my many fond memories are throwing away the hat with gusto, kneeling in prayer with all 9 Winders, seeing teenage sons unashamedly kiss their father when they greeted him, giving Wendy her Shumway bump (I didn't really mean to Wendy), helping to rescreen the swim pool I couldn't use, and deciding my car would always be clean. Two of my children still recount the time as little girls a few years later when they rode a motorscooter through sprinklers with President Winder at the Winder farm. Dear President, we look forward with enthusiasm to our next reunion.

We appreciate the fine example of President Winder and of his family. You are truly Christ-like people. Thank you so much for the beauty you have created in this part of the city and in the lives of those you touch.

Dear Sister Winder and Family,
I can't believe that President Winder is gone. I am sure I saw him driving his car just a few weeks ago. I don't know anyone else with a Porsche and 'NED' on the license plate. I wanted to call him and say, "I am happy to see that I am not the only one that likes to go fast on I-215". I was in the Florida Mission in 1964-1966. Since my name is Germaine, President Winder thought that I was an elder and had an elder all ready to be my companion. Luckily(?), he found out before I arrived that I was a sister missionary. He must be having a wonderful time in the Spirit world with all of the friends and loved ones he knew. I look forward to seeing him again one day. Love and comfort to all of you.

"Marryin' Ned.
He performed the sealing of my wife and I just over 3 years ago. He gave us two $2 bills, and a card saying that we were 2 2gether forever. We have the bills and the card framed in our bedroom with a picture of that wonderful day. We love Ned.

Brother Winder sealed my wife Chelsea and I in the Salt Lake Temple almost five years ago. My parents were privileged to have Ned as their bishop when they were married, and so we felt honored to have him perform our sealing. His sense of humor will forever be remembered. Plus, seeing Brother Winder driving around in his cherry-red Porsche always brought a smile to my face. He will be sorely missed and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Dear Gwen, Ted and Family,
Just reading through all the guest comments has confirmed what we all know--that Ned was such a great man and rendered so much service to all of us. His influence and testimony coupled with that of you, Gwen, his exemplary companion will continue to be with so many people worldwide forever. We will certainly miss his fabulous sense of humor--but I can imagine what a great time they are all having with him on the other side. Thank you all for sharing him with us for so many wonderful years. We know that you look forward to a sweet eternal reunion. May our Father's choice blessings be with all of you to enjoy many great memories until that joyful day!

I had the privelage of witnessing Ned perform the sealings of my bishop's 2 daughter's. What a wonderful experience that was. He was truely spiritual and the Lord knew what he was doing when he bestowed those special ordinances onto Ned. Please accept our love and sincere condolences. Ned will truely be missed. I'm only sad that My husband and I weren't able to have Ned perform our sealing like we had talked to Ned about. But, I know the Lord needed Ned with him. I hope his family is at peace and I know that Ned is.

Dear Gwen & Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Ned's passing. He truly is an icon of the community. There are not many of the old "Granger" people left. He left his mark on all who came in contact with him. His legacy will go on for many years.
I remember he sponsored me when I received my Eagle Scout award. Ned and I went to the University of Utah to the Eagle Scout Recognition Dinner. He was very kind and considerate as we enjoyed a wonderful event together.
His humor is legendary. After Enid Woodbury's funeral where he spoke and I sang, he and you caught a ride to the cemetery in our old Dodge van. Jane and I were embarrassed with our old van where the door would fly open as we went around corners and with the "jungle print" seat covers. There had been a light rain that morning and he confessed a selfish motive for riding with us ... he didn't want to get his car dirty! He stated, pointing to his Porsche, "Scott, see that car over there? I love that car! I've asked the brethren if they would seal it to me but they're not in to inanimate objects yet"! Jane and I died laughing and we still talk about this experience!
Most of our kids were sealed in marriage by President Monson, due to family ties. However, on occasion he was not available and our next choice was Ned. We still talk about the wonderful job he did as he brought eternity in to the room while wading that fine line between "light-hearted" and "light-mindedness". It was always just the right mix! He always said he didn't mind playing second fiddle to President Monson at all! We are blessed to have had this experience.
Well, we saw a book at mom and dad's the other day that related many experiences about Ned's life. I learned a lot about him through this book. I didn't know he never graduated from high school and that both Granite High and Cyprus High thought he was attending their school. There were other eye-opening, but not surprising, anecdotes in this book, complied by a son-in-law.
Let me just say in closing we love all of you! We wish you the best and know you all will do great! Gwen, you've had a wonderful 57 years with Ned and will have many great memories to enjoy until you meet again. Family, what a great example your parents have been to you.
May you all have the blessings of Heavenly Father in your continued lives and may you be buoyed up in knowledge given you through word, through spirit and through the example of loving parents and grandparents.
We love you,

My condolences to the Ned Winder family. I would like to let you know how honored I am to have known Ned Winder. I grew up in his Stake and received my Patriarchal blessing through his hands. Later I was sealed in the temple to my wife by him. I also worked at Winder Dairy for several years and enjoyed every opportunity to be greeted by Ned as I rode my skateboard up and down Winder lane. As a beneficiary of his love of service and his many kind acts and words, I would just like to express a heartfelt thanks to Ned and his entire family.

Ned had a great sense of humor. When I was in high school with Kent and Karen, Ned would refer to himself as Granger Highs largest atheletic supporter. He made sure everyone felt special. He was always very kind to me. The last time I saw Ned was several years ago when he greeted me with a smile and strong embrace in the Salt Lake Temple. I cherish that memory. He will be missed but thought of fondly.

My heart broke today when I saw that Ned had passed away. As a "dairy girl" I have a lot of great memories of cute Ned. Once while he was in the country store he said to me "I am going to marry you someday". I knew what he meant, but the lady behind him gave me a funny look as I told him "I look forward to it!" My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to the whole Winder Clan.

We are so sorry to hear of Ned's passing. What a wonderful man and such a great example to everyone. He sealed me and my husband over 23 years ago in the Salt Lake Temple and before he married us, he had me and my husband come to his home to talk, he gave us some great advice on marriage. He was a great man in everyway. We will miss him greatly!

Dear Winder Family
I am deeply sorry for your loss, I am honored to have knowing "Ned" for a short period of time, It was always a blessing to be in the same room with him for another "high priest group" class, He always made me laugh, and He always had a kind word for you. He was a trully "Man of God".
Love you all.
I am lost in words, so I am borrowing this poem from somebody else.
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Gwen and Family: This morning when I looked in the paper and saw "Ned" in the tribune, my mind was flooded with many good memories from the past. I had the great privilege of being his personal secretary in the Missionary Department and he even let me drive his Burgundy Porsche to the airport and back when he had to go and represent the church at funerals for the missionaries who had died. When my apartment was robbed, he gave me money to buy a winter coat. I remember the wonderful volleyball parties at the dairy and the sweet rolls, cheese, rolls, fruit punch, etc. He always made work FUN. Brother Winder always smelled good, made us laugh and think we were important and would kiss us on the cheek and hug us when he would see us years later. Thanks for sharing him with me. I loved seeing him in the temple, weddings, Days of 47 Parade, Church Offices, etc. What a blessing he has been to me and my family.
God bless you. Love,

From Sri Lanka, half-way around the world, we extend our love and sincere sympathy to Ned's dear family. More than 50 years ago, as teenagers, we knew Gwen and Ned in the Rose Park area. What truly marvelous examples of love and dedication to the Lord and service to others they were, even so long ago. He loved to encourage and bless others with his great outgoing and enthusiastic spirit. Every Spring, Ned sent Business Sterling Scholar honorees a letter of congratulations and a crisp $1.00 bill. One of our children received such a letter, and one day, after expressing our thanks, Ned shared his special little secret. He beamed with excitement! We will miss his exiting wave, but someday hope to see his smile and feel of his friendly embrace. We know the Lord will continue to bless and comfort you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. Ned married my husband and I three years ago. We still have the card and the two dollar bill that he gave us in the temple that special day. My husband and I still laugh about the things that he said to us on our wedding day. He was a great example of a christ like person.

Ned's tremendous wit made me smile many times, but none more than when he performed my wedding. After the ceremony he stood on his tip-toes to give my wife a kiss. Then he leaned to me and said, "She kisses pretty good for an old married lady!" We were in stitches over that, and still laugh about it 20 years later!
I'm sure that he must have said many wise and profound things at that ceremony, but what I remember best is his attitude that life is to be enjoyed and loved. Like his Christmas lights that made the holidays seem more complete, Ned's love of life brightened the world for everyone he met.
Good-bye, Ned!

I was priviledged enough to know Ned for many years. He was in my ward growing up, he gave me my Patriarchal Blessing, and sealed my wife and me. I can't thank him enough for the many ways he has blessed my life. Ned was a great example of what being a Latter-day Saint is all about. He will be missed greatly.

I never knew "Grandpa" Ned personally, and I only met him briefly at his granddaughter's wedding to my brother just a few days ago, but the dear man just made me giggle when he approached me and asked if I was giving out free hugs!! There's only so many people in this world who have a certain spark that when you meet them for the first time, you get a sense of a truly remarkable and endearing person who touches your heart and I'm glad I had that very small but very precious opportunity. My heart is with you.

Our sincerest and deepest sympathy to the Winder Family. Bro. Winder was truly one of the choicest creations of our Heavenly Father. Attending his sealings was an emotional treat. We would invariably be laughing, crying, feeling, thinking and having been the better for attending. We had just called to inquire about a date for an upcoming sealing for our niece when we learned of his passing. Things just won't be the same at the SL Temple.

Dear Gwen & Family,
I am so glad that I had the opportunity to work with Brother Winder in the Missionary Department back in 1968-1970. He is such a special person and holds a very special place in my heart. One of my favorite memories is how excited he would get when he had bought a present for you Gwen. He was so in love with you and it showed every day. I am so glad that I got to see the two of you in June when a bunch of us from the Missionary Department met at Marie Calendar's for dinner. As always, Ned was at his best, and kept us laughing. I am thankful to have a copy of his book, to help remember him by. I look forward to seeing him again some day and I am sure that when I give him a hug he will say "Put me down, I'm a High Priest". My love to all of you. Sylvia

What a great man, our sympathy is with all the family, we've enjoyed his great humor and loving attitude he displayed. We always enjoyed seeing him at the Salt Lake Temple and lucky to have been able to be in some of his sealing sessions with family and friends. We both enjoyed seeing him at the "U" football games and were looking forward to seeing him this coming friday at the opening game for the UTES. We are sure he'll be cheering them on. We are both ushers at the 'U' games and have been for many years and have loved getting to know him, his wife, brother and sister in law. We remember in the OLD Scolarship boothe on the East side of the old statium that he would bring us chocolate milk and eggnog, just because.
Thanks for letting us share a small part of his life.
May God bless you all.

Ned performed our marriage ceremony almost 12 years ago, and I will never forget the advice he gave us. He had a very special spirit about him and it was felt in every sealing that we have been priviledged to attend. He never failed to give me a big kiss when he saw us and I will miss that. What a wonderful man. He will truely be missed!

How cloudy the day IS now that a part of the sun HAS BEEN DIMINISHED.NED Winder is no longer with us. I remember the call we received as we sat down to dinner here in Pa. and my wife informed me that the Governor's office in Utah wishd to talk to me. The great news was thAT THEY HAD AN ADDRESS FOR MY SHIPMATE NED WINDER WHO I HAD NOT SEEN FOR OVER 48 YEARS.They informed me that he was really waiting for my call.WHEN I SPOKE TO HIM HE WAS SO EXCITED HE MOVED HIS BODY IN THE CHAIR AND DISCONNECTED THE CALL.HE IMMEDIATELY SCREAMED TO GWEN "DID YOU GET HIS NUMBER?" AS A STRONG WOMAN IN HER OWN WAY SHE INFORMED HIM THAT HE WAS TALKING TO ME NOT HER. THE CYCLE WAS COMPLETE AND HE WAS BACK IN THE FOLD when I called again. YOU MIGHT CALL MY TASK REVERSE MISSION WORK BECAUSE I DID BRING HIM BACK TO THE HADLEY FOLD.
IN HIS USUAL FASION AS I REMARKED AT ONE OF THE REUNIONS THAT SOME PEOPKE HUNG UP ON ME,MEANING HIM HIS REPLY WAS "HE CALLED ME COLLECT.AS YOU ALL KNOW IF I DID THAT HE WOULD TRUE TO FORM NOT ACCEPT THE CALL.
WE BOTH SERVED AS RADAR OPERATORS AND ON THE HADLEY AND I AM SURE THAT HE IS STILL SEARCHING THE SKIES TO MAKE ALL THINGS WELL.GOOD-BY LITTLE BUDDY THE MEN OF THE USS HADLEY SALUTE YOU FOR BEING THE WONDERFUL AND COLORFUL CHARACTER YOU WERE TO ALL OF US REST WELL FAITHFUL SERVANT,THANKS FOR A JOB WELL DONE

In 1967-68,I worked as a personal secretary to Brother Winder at the Church Office Building. I loved being his presence. He was always so cordial and radiated genuine love for all of his co-workers. My husband and I always receive much enjoyment telling about the experience of John entering Brother Winder's office to inform Brother Winder of his intention to ask me to marry him. John asked, "Brother Winder, what would you do if I told you that I am going to ask your secretary to marry me?" Brother Winder laughingly looked him right in the eye and said, "I'd kiss you right where you eat." What a delightful moment and wonderful memory of our beloved Brother Winder.

Dear Family Members,
I worked for Ned in the Missionary Dept during the mid to late 60's after they came home from their mission. I loved working with him. He fed us about everyday with cheese and rolls and milk. He was so fun to run into in the parking area with his beautiful sports car in tip top shape. He told me he would seal me to someone if I could ever find that special someone. Well time has run out for this world - perhaps the next. I have wonderful memories of you and wish your family much comfort while you are doing your work elsewhere. You always kissed my cheek and gave me a hug to show you loved me. It gave me confidence and support after haveing difficult times to go through. I love you Ned as I know many, many do.

Such a spiritual, funny, loving man. He married my husband and I 5 years ago and I have been able to attend a few he performed since. One was actually last friday. I approached him and he was so sweet (as usual) and what a wonderful memory he has. I remember at one of the sealings he did that I attended was about 1 year ago and he came up to me and asked if he had performed my sealing. I was so touched that he would remember me after sealing so many, it must be difficult to remember, but Ned did. I will never forget his sweet words...advise that has always inspired and lifted up those in attendance.
And I will never forget him.

We were sorry to hear of Ned's passing. He was a wonderful man. He married us last August 27, 2004 in the Salt Lake Temple. And we were so honored to have had him do so. He had also married my brother's and sister's and what a wonderful man he was. We will miss seeing him on the 24th of July waving to us after the parade! He sure knew how to get you to smile. We loved his cute jokes and tender words. He will for sure be missed.

His humor and love will forever be remembered with my husband and I when while he took us to be sealed in the elevator he stopped the elevator and turned the lights off and told us he expected to hear kissing. He later gave me a tissue and my husband a mint. What a wonderful man he is and what great words he gave us as we became eternal partners 2 years ago.
His loss is great in this world. May your family be blessed with the comfort needed.

Oh I love Brother Ned Winder. He was truly one of the most wonderful men I have ever known. I first met him when I worked at Winder Dairy and he treated me like family. Later he sealed many of my family members and friends. I also enjoyed waving to him at the Pioneer Day Parade every year. He will be missed. I know for sure where he is and I look forward to seeing Ned again someday. You are a blessed family to have him as your own. With love and gratitude! Angie Tueller Simons

To the Winder family,
I have many fond memories of Ned Winder, from visiting the dairy as a little boy, to hearing him speak at Granger High in the '60's, to watching his years of missionary service, to seeing him at the state basketball championships, to his shiny blue Porsche in the Church Office parking terrace, to seeing his legacy as I served in a Church calling with his son Ted, to all the friends and family whose sealings he performed. What a treasure!
May the Spirit give you peace, and a witness that the Plan he believed in is real. You will be reunited with him in glory.
Sincerely,
Lynda Kimball Richards

We are sorry to hear about Brother Winder's passing. Our Grandmother Elizabeth Schellinger Smith Anderson was born where the old Winder Dairy barn is now. Our father and brother are buried in the Winder Cemetary and we visit there often. Our hearts go out to the family at this time.
