WALL of REMEMBRANCE:

Franklyn Edward Winterberg, the Winterberg patriarch, passed away of natural causes Saturday December 10th.

Frank as Dad was known, lived a full and productive life. Born August 28 1933, Dad was adopted by Frank and Loraine Winterberg, which always made him feel special because he was chosen. Dad excelled in academics and sports and soon after graduating high school enlisted in the US Navy. There he met his wife Rhea and together they built and experienced a great life. Creating two fine sons, five wonderful grandchildren and eight amazing great-grandchildren. Together Frank and Rhea lived a full happy life. As a couple they were caring and supportive; guiding and helping many during their years together. Besides his adoration of Rhea, Dad was so proud of the family he had built, dearly loved his US Navy and missed the Navy so very much when he ultimately retired after 22 years of service. Dad and mom traveled the world together and were a blessing to all they met.

Dad has rejoined Mom.

Mom and Dad thank you so much for everything - you are forever in our hearts.
