No one can put into words how sad we all feel at Dave's sudden departure.Time however will not take away any of the great memories we have,including the wild times spent as bachelors around Chester (Dave,Phil and Pete the three musketeers)and then the time spent as familes together once all of our children came along.We didn't see as much of one another as we would have liked but when we all got together (Winder's,Downes's and Cross's).We always had a great time with plenty to laugh and talk about with the odd gallon of amber nectar to help the night along.
Fond memories and we will always miss you Dave, from Phil,Anne,Emma and Matthew.

Dear Karen, Claire & Steven,
We were all devastated to hear your very sad news. My heartfelt feelings of sympathy go out to all of you. It seems like yesterdy we were sharing happy times together in Houston with you all. I was very moved by Dave's tribute to you ..........I am sure his memory will live on in his two beautiful children. I can't see Everton FC now without picturing Dave. Karen,you are in our thoughts,
With love from Philippa, Kate, Juliet, James & Jonathan

Dear Karen, Stephen and claire
I have just received the beautiful christmas card and this allowed me to hopefully make contact with you. After speaking with Roy here in Australia, we were all devestated to hear of your loss. As a family you were always a great support to Olivia and I and we did have some great times. I still have the Glamour Shots to prove it! Hopefully both Steven and claire still remember Olivia. I promise to send photographs soon. Life can be extremely unkind but knowing you and David as I did, you are one person who will have the stength to ensure that the legacy of Dave lives on through his children. Still not sure about Everton being the best Football team however we are allowed one error of judgement. If you or you kids fancy a trip down under there will always be a room available.
Love Caroline, Olivia, Andrew, Daisy and Mia.

Dear Karen, Claire & Stephen,
I'm not sure if you remember me, I was in the TBPA in Houston, Rachel is my daughter and I was friends with Margaret Hayward and Jill. I just heard this week about Dave's death, and I just wanted to say how very sorry I am. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

First of all may I pass my sympathy to the family on the recent death of David.
I was doing a search of the Web for information on the Winder family...I am not to sure if David's father was my fathers brother.
My father had a brother called Dennis who wife was called Pat, they lived in Blacon, Chester.
I used to visit the family during the 50s...I think Dennis passed away around this time. I also remember the family were keen Everton supporters
I do remember going to dads sister Sally's funeral, Sally lived in Southport...I met David at the funeral. I do remember he said he may be off the America...That is the last time I had any contact with David and Pat....my father passed way 1998, he did not keep in touch with the family.
When I looked at the photo of David he looks just like my brother Michaels son (I have two daughters).
My father was from Bury, Lancashire. I live in Rossendale, which is just down the road. It is sad that Davids death and the information on this site is the way I eventually contacted Davids family

Sorry we have not paid a tribute till now, but Dave’s death was such a shock to us, even now we still can’t believe it.
I’ve known Dave since junior school and Marina and I have known Dave & Karen for over 23 yrs, we even had our children around the same time.
We’ve had a few family holidays together, spending time with them in London, Germany and when we were in Florida they came over from Houston to spend a week with us and the Downes’s. These are all memories we will cherish and are so glad we had this time together.
Our only regret now is that we never got to go out to Houston, although Dave & Karen did invite us many times.
We are really glad that when Dave came over in January 2007, he was able to come over and have a meal with us and Phil & Anne Downes. He nearly didn’t make it as that was the day of strong winds which caused chaos on the roads and in the in the air.
Dave was a good friend and he will always be in our thoughts and in our hearts and he will never be forgotten.
Our love and thoughts are with Karen, Claire & Steven.
Love always Pete, Marina, Jenny & Michael Cross (Chester UK)

Viv and I can only imagine the pain Dave’s sudden departure has caused.
As you know, Dave and I were very close mates while we were at Loughborough together. He didn’t take an industrial training year , I did, so we went our separate ways. Or so we thought. Our paths crossed again in London a year later, to our mutual delight and also that of many Central London pub owners (Marquis of Angelsey, Lamb and Flag, The Lamb) to name a few that we frequented at that time. I am lucky enough to work in the immediate area in London where these pubs are and each one has a list of memories associated with it. Football, of course, was a shared passion. We went to Goodison together, FA Cup 5th round, can’t remember which year, Tottenham lost, Everton were lucky. Never mind, Chester city centre beckoned. I will not forget that weekend. Soon after, Karen and Dave were very much a serious item, and then they were going to be married. Dave asked me to his best man. What an honour! What a weekend! What a lucky couple, we all thought.
This was, of course, the beginning of the next phase. Claire arrived in 1987 and attended our wedding although only a few weeks old. It was obvious soon afterwards that Dave and Karen were about to embark on some extended foreign adventures. This meant that there was less opportunity for our paths to cross although we were invited to Houston but never made it. Regrets, regrets. But then in January 2005, an opportunity arose for me to go to South Korea, to Geoje City. Isn’t that where Dave and Karen are, I thought? Their house was 5 minutes walk from the hotel I was staying in. It was unbelievable luck. I spent two magical (except for the work) weeks there. Meeting Dave and Karen again, and Claire and Steven for the first time, was truly a tear jerking experience.
Little was I to know that two years on Dave would no longer be with us. How lucky I feel to have had even that short time, not just with Dave, but with his family too.
Life is full of cross-roads and intersections. Some we pass through quickly. Some we dwell at, and then follow a new route. I am glad to be able to say that when my path crossed Dave Winder’s, I dwelled, and my life was much richer for that.
Thanks, Dave, for altering the path of our life.

Just heard this terrible news this morning, my heart goes out to Dave's family. I haven't seen Dave for probably 20+ years, but used to knock around together when we were 'youths behaving badly', along with Pete Cross & Phil Downes. His passions then were Everton (unlucky), Elton John plus music in general, and his yellow mini, which was tough to get me and him in, both being over 6ft,never mind Pete & Phil!! Reading his comments all I can now say is he seemed to have really enjoyed his life and everyone he had in it. Good on ya Dave.....

We have known Dave for almost 15 yrs. He was a very dear friend to us. We enjoyed his company at parties, concerts and family outings.We will miss all of that; and especially will miss seeing him come home after work and later go on his run or walk with Foxie. Its so hard to say good-bye to someone you have known and loved for that amount of time; so we won't say good-bye Dave, but see you later some day. We love and miss you terribly. We will try our best to give a helping hand when needed to Karen, Claire and Steven, so you don't need to worry; just rest in peace now.

I first met Dave in 1995 and I think that was the last time I met all of you too - you had a house with a hot tub - but I very much doubt that will remember me - but I remember you all. I met Dave again a couple of years ago here in Houston and quickly remembered what a special guy he is - Everton supporter notwithstanding. We are all very saddened by his passing and send our thoughts and prayers to you, his family and his friends around the world at this very sad time. He was a special guy and we will all miss him

We have just been looking at a picture of Dave stuffing confetti in my pocket at our wedding. It's one of the few pictures we have of him. Things haven't been the same since we heard of his passing, and I suppose they never quite will be.
Our thoughts are with Karen, Claire and Steven and we wish we could lend them some strength, to help them to get through this.
I loved reading Dave's words - I could almost hear his voice saying them.
He will be terribly missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Dave's passing. I, too, worked with him at Worley (Houston). Every day he had a smile (and joke). He was such a caring and sweet man. He's an amazing man and it shows in his beautiful words about his family. He will be missed.

Dear Karen, Claire, and Steven
We only met Dave a couple of times a year at Simon's parties but always enjoyed his company - especially as he was a "northern lad". His words in the obituary show what a likeable, honest, and courageous person he was and the tributes written by his friends around the world give us an insight into his very well-lived life. Our thoughts are with you.

Dear Karen, Claire, and Steven,
Our deepest condolences to you for the loss of your husband and father.
Your father was a great man, one of the very few people I know that was so intelligent, so positive, and caring, both at work and outside. He taught me a lot! It was our greatest honor to know Dave. We will always remember him.

Hello Karen, Claire and Steven,
Pete Cross has just informed me of your sad loss. It really shocked me to say the least, I can only imagine what you are all going through and what the last few weeks have been like.
I spent virtually every day of my childhood playing football with Dave - we were so close for so many years but over recent years, despite Dave and yourself Karen writing to me regularly I didn't respond - how I regret that now.
I have often thought about Dave and wondered how life was in Houston and with me now living on the other side of the world if we would meet again.
I really do have such fond memories of Dave and his mum and dad, his Aunty and Gran - really lovely people.
His dad took me to my first Everton game and if we weren't playing football we would be playing Subbuteo!
We also drank lots of beer together! We did enjoy each other's company enormously.
A great guy, funny with it - I can imagine him leaving a huge gap in lots of people's lives.
He and his family helped give me so many happy childhood memories - he will forever be my thoughts.
Deb and I are thinking of you all at this time . . .

Karen and family we are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of my favorite English man, and I am hurt that I happen to be out of the country and cannot attend the ceremony. Please accept our condolences. I got to know Dave very well as we work together from the time he was at ABB. I always new he was very proud of his family and I hope that you can take comfort in the fact that he was a great person. May god bless you and make you strong for the rest of the family and life’s challenges.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I only had the privelage of meeting David's family once prior to your trip to Korea. I know how close you were and the love you have for each other. I shared some time working with David and respected him greatly as a professional and a person. We spent a lot of time in our private conversations discussing Everton FC and my club Sunderland AFC, as you might guess David could talk with real passion about football. We also talked about his family and children, so I know how special everybody was to David. David is a great loss and has a special place in all of our hearts.

Glynn came home from school today and let me know that his dear YMCA soccer coach had passed away. We have the greatest memories of those days.

It's still very much a shock to me to hear that everything happened so suddenly. I know he's going to be sorely missed, but it certainly sounded just like him to remain composed and make jokes until the end.
I'm just glad I had the chance to meet him, as an engineer, the father of one of my closest friends, and as a light-hearted rival. I suppose Cayley beats Rutherford after all, hey?

He was a fantastic husband, father, work colleague with Phil at ABB, neighbour in Westcreek, someone you could completely trust and much much more. He was always very proud of his family and your achievements and know he will continue to be proud as your lives continue without his daily support and love. We are always just a moment away and please call upon us and your friends for anything at this sad and difficult time.

Karen, Claire and Steven, I only knew your Dad for a short while (we first met in Korea) and I worked with him in Angola. I was surprised to hear of his passing last week since I was not even aware that he was sick. He was a good man (but you already know that)and a good co-worker. From his last words, I can tell that Dave was thinking of all of you until the last. Please accept my condolences on your lost but if Claire and Steven are anything like their Dad, then he has left a lasting legacy that he can be proud of.
