We all learned from Nana the profound good that can come from a kind voice, a carefully cooked meal, an evening cocktail, or a friendly game of cards. Nana lived gently, with an attention to detail and to the needs of other people that is rare. She went on the Lord in the same way she lived: simply, peacefully, and surrounded by people who loved her. We ask all who knew her to carry on the unique qualities that June shared with us-the best of what it means to be a New Orleanian and a human being. When you find yourself being unexpectedly kind or cooking an especially good gumbo or pot roast, fully enjoy the moment with those you love. 'Try a taste.

Born in New Orleans, LA to Salvadore Castelluccio and Vivian Zaccaria Castelluccio on February 29, 1940, Sal always had an immense pride for his Italian heritage and had a field day his entire life with his leap year birthday. All four of his grandparents came from Italy, and he always told stories from his youth that he learned from them and how fascinating their unique journeys were in coming to the USA and forging a new life here. Sal graduated from East Jefferson High School in 1958 and was active in the class reunions over the years enjoying getting together with all his buddies. He earned a Mechanical Engineering degree from Louisiana Tech University in 1963, one of the toughest engineering schools in the country at the time, and he was always incrediby proud of this accomplishment. Sal worked for the United Sates Army Corps of Engineers for 30 years before retiring in 2005 and was always proud of his work and the good friends he made there. There was nothing Sal could not fix. He was the one everyone called when they had car problems or anything would cease to work properly whether it was a washing machine or a sink. He loved his family, good food, Disney World, a good political debate, anything to do with history - especially World War II aerial dogfights, NASCAR, his beloved Fords, and spending time with people he loved. Although a lot of people probably thought Sal could be gruff and ornery, under that tough Italian exteriior beat a heart of gold that would pull over to help someone stranded on the road or financially help a friend in need. Sal was one of those people you could call in the middle of the night and he would come over and help - no matter what help was needed. He was a person who always stuck to his principles and never wavered from doing the honorable thing even if it meant it was not the most popular decision. He told his daughter her whole life; ""Always be a leader, never a sheep.'' He was preceded in death by his parents; Sal and Vivian. He is survived by his sister, Vivian C. Mendoza and her husband, Al; niece, Brandie Lynn Mendoza; his best friend and only child, Ann Marie Castelluccio Thomas and husband, Brian; and the three reasons why he defeated this disease for so long, his beloved grandchildren, his ""kiddies'' as he called them: Alex Salvadore Thomas, Jenna Marie Thomas and Connor Vincent Thomas. He will be especially missed by his beloved granddog, Spin. Also survived by dear friend, Brenda Ridgdell, who was there every minute for him. A special thanks to his sitter, Ms. Evelyn, who was a rock to his daughter with her kind words and actions and her deep religious faith. Sal will be forever remembered as ""Nonno,'' the grandpa who loved his grandkids with such fervor that he fought off death and defied the odds for so long. He will be missed daily, but his strong presence will always be felt by those who were lucky enough to experience this wonderful person. He's in Heaven fixing cars with his daddy as we speak!!

Hadlow Center for Caring in Jacksonville. He was 70 years old. Born on October 16, 1936 in Milwaukee , Wis., Donald was the only child of Franz Ferdinand Winkler of Villach, Austria, and Lydia Viola Peters of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. In 1937, the family moved to Carriere, Miss., where they purchased a farm on which they would cultivate tung trees for tung oil, and raise chickens and dairy cattle. As a youngster, Donald was active in Future Farmers of America and 4-H, winning many prizes at the county fair for his entries in animal husbandry and plant cultivation. At 15, he graduated at the top of his class at Carriere Central High School , and entered Louisiana State University shortly thereafter at age 16. He worked his way through LSU, earning a BS, an MS, and eventually in January 1961, at the age of 24, he received his PhD in Chemical Engineering with an emphasis on Thermodynamics. In February 1961, he moved to Canoga Park, Calif. , where he took a job with Rocketdyne Corporation, doing research on saltwater desalinization. He met his future wife, Renee Fagrell in June of 1961 and they were married on Dec. 22, 1961. The couple returned to Baton Rouge, La. in 1962, where Donald worked for Ethyl Corp. in research and development. At Ethyl Corp., his team of engineers patented a process for making aluminum hydride, an essential propellant for rocket fuel used in rocket launches, such as the Space Shuttle launches. Despite his accomplishments in chemical engineering, however, Donald's true passion was medicine, and in 1964 he was admitted to the LSU College of Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana. To support his growing family, he ran the Clinical Lab at the VA Hospital in New Orleans, even as he completed his medical training at Charity Hospital in New Orleans. He was elected a fellow of the Undergraduate Medical and Surgical Society of LSU School of Medicine. In the summer of 1967, he traveled to Mexico to complete a Tropical Medicine Fellowship, where he treated patients in rural clinics near Guadalajara . Donald received his Doctor of Medicine degree from LSU on June 1, 1968, graduating in the top 10 percent of his class. Immediately upon graduation, Donald was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, and was quickly promoted to Captain. The family moved to Honolulu, Hawaii, where Donald began his internship at Tripler Army Medical Center. At this time, the Vietnam War was at its height and Donald was very busy caring for the many wounded servicemen and women who were brought to Tripler. He was always prepared to serve in Vietnam should he have been called to go. He completed his internship in June of 1969, and was transferred to Fort Gordon, Georgia, where he completed an ophthalmology preceptorship in 1970. That same year, he was granted a space in the ophthalmology residency program at Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. In 1971, while at BAMC, he was promoted to Major. He was also an Associate of the Society of Military Ophthalmology. He completed his residency in ophthalmology in 1973, earning many commendations from his commanding officer for his exemplary performance. In September 1973, he was transferred to Fort Jackson, in Columbia, S.C., where he was Chief of EENT Service at Moncrief Army Hospital until June 1974. During his tenure at Moncrief he received many more commendations from his commanding officer for superior performance of his duties. In 1974, Donald was honorably discharged from the Army, but continued to serve in the Army Reserve and Army National Guard until 1978. In September 1974, he moved his family to Roswell, N.M. , where his widowed mother, the late Lydia Winkler, resided. In Roswell , he was a staff ophthalmologist at Southwester Eye Center , and was also on the medical staff at Eastern New Mexico Medical Center as well as St. Mary's Hospital of Roswell. The family later moved to Hobbs, N.M., where Donald became a staff ophthalmologist at Norte Vista Medical Center, as well as Llano Estacado Medical Center of Hobbs. An opportunity to practice medicine in Florida arose in 1975, when Donald took over the ophthalmology practice of the late Dr. Robert Hook. In October 1975, Donald began his private ophthalmology practice in St. Augustine General Hospital in St. Augustine. He was on the medical staff of both St. Augustine General Hospital and Flagler Hospital, and in 1976, opened a satellite office in Flagler Beach, where he continued to see patients until 1997. In 1997, he opened a second satellite office in Palatka, Florida. In 1977, he earned his board certification from the American Board of Ophthalmology. He served as president of the medical staff at St. Augustine General Hospital from 1982 to 1984 and was a member and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of St. Augustine General Hospital from 1984 to 1989. He was a founding member of the Flagler County Medical Society and served as its president in 1984, and again from 2000 to 2003. He was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology in 1980. He was also a member of the Florida Medical Association, which honored him as a Distinguished Physician. Other memberships include the Flagler Count Medical Society, the St. Johns County Medical Society, as well as the American Society of Contemporary Ophthalmology. He was also a charter member of the Flagler Health Care Foundation, Inc. He was a fellow of the Society of Eye Surgeons of the International Eye Foundation, and had been a member of the Century Club of the LSU Alumni Federation since 1978. He retired from active medical practice on May 21, 2007. In his spare time, Dr. Winkler enjoyed singing and playing guitar, as well as fishing and hunting. He also enjoyed tinkering with classic cars, and was an accomplished craftsman. He enjoyed every minute spent with his children and grandchildren. Dr. Winkler is survived by Renee, his beloved wife of 45 years, and also his children: Cara (Mrs. Robert) Myers, Stephen (Mary Ellen) Winkler, Lisa (Mrs. Rob) Hunt, Charles (Heather) Winkler, and Peter Winkler.
