After high school, he enlisted in the Air Force, where he became a weatherman. He was stationed at Big Spring Air Force base in Texas, where he met and married Sara Norton in 1952 and relocated back to his native Edmonds.

"Jack" as he was well known, opened his own business, Winters Glass, in the late 50's, located in downtown Edmonds. He was active in the Lynnwood Rotary and enjoyed being an active member of the Paine Field Air Show crew. .

Jack was elected to the Edmonds City Council and served his beloved city from 1971 to 1974. After selling the glass business in 1975, he focused on managing his properties in Edmonds and Bothell and continued working into his 90's. Jack was not only a business owner and active community member, he was a dedicated family man.

Jack is survived by his three children Gwen Baugh, John Winters III "Jay" (and wife Jan) and Patsy Winters. He also leaves behind his 10 adoring grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, sisters, Lucile and Beth as well as his brother Bud and beloved nephew Johnny.

Jack valued fairness, hard work, and generosity above all else and lived those values throughout his 93 years. He will be missed dearly by his family and friends.
