man.

attended for more than 50 years.He enjoyed growing flowers like the massive 
dahlia's and taking them to church to place on the altar for Sunday services.He 
enjoyed the outdoors through hunting and fishing.He was especially proud of the 
4th of July parties that he would hold at his home for family and friends by 
roasting a pig or two. He longed for motorcycle rides, on his Honda Gold wing 
and attending bike week each year. His German heritage was his backbone, his 
desire to find his ancestors was very important to him. He was ale to trace back 
over 200 years of the family.

He was preceded in death by his daughter Linda Sue Leggett.

Robert Lee Winkler, Brad Robert Winkler and grandchildren, Heather, Brent, Paul,
