The deepest of condolences to the family. I'm a stronger leader, more technical observer, a better coach, and a more complete person because of Coach Winter's influence.
Rest in Peace, dear friend.

Condolences to the Winter family. Sorry for your loss. Such a great man and leader, helping his team's win championships. He will be duly missed by family and friends alike. Soon death will be brought to nothing according to 1 Corinthians 15: 26, therefore mankind will no longer suffer the loss of losing a loved one.
