Clifford D. Winson, 80, of Union, NJ, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on Thursday, March 21, 2019. Clifford was born to the late Wilmer and Evelyn Winson in Newark, NJ. He was predeceased by daughter Judy Winson (in 2010) and is survived by wife Helen Winson, son John Winson, daughter Jean Heys and her husband Thomas, sister Barbara Winson Riedel and her husband Roger, and grandsons Joseph and James.
Clifford served our country in the Army National Guard for 8 years before becoming a firefighter in Union, NJ for 25 years, rising to the rank of Battalion Chief. He later founded and operated "Union's Finest" Car Service. If you asked him, his proudest achievement was raising his three children. He was a huge Yankee fan, avid reader, and loved trips in his camper van.
He will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him.
