Mr. Winter was a missionary for 40 years with the Missionary Unification Church. He was known for his enormous love and warmth of heart towards Africa and his work there
in teaching the principles he lived by, one of which, and most importantly, was to live for the sake of others. We truly will miss his presence.
Kevin was preceded in death by his father, Robert Winter.
Surviving are his wife of 33 years, Evelyne, nee Calabretto, Winter, whom he married in 1982;
three sons, Thomas B. Winter of Fresno, CA,
Stephan P. Winter of Abidjan, West Africa,
and Fortune D. Winter of Fresno, CA;
two grandchildren, Josiah and Jirah Winter;
his mother, Vernetta, nee Alsredson, Winter, of Atlanta, GA;
one brother, Jay (Cheryl) Winter of Arizona;
and two sisters, Robin Winter (Bill Mantone) of Boston, MA,
and Wendy Winter-Liddy of Atlanta, GA.
