Services for George Richard “Dick” Winters, a retired Sitka businessman, will be held 1 p.m. July 14 at the Sitka Elks Lodge.
A reception will follow, hosted by the Emblem Club.
Dick died July 9 at his home in Sitka. He was 83.
He was born June 8, 1930, in Colby, Kansas, the son of Florence Louise (Wyatt) and Henry Morris Winters.
The family moved to Ketchikan in 1946, and he graduated from Ketchikan High School.
He moved to Sitka in 1964.
He and his wife, Anna, were married May 5, 1984, in Sitka at the home of good friends Kenny and Bonnie Stedman.
He enjoyed fishing and cooking, and visiting with friends and all his grandchildren.
He was a member of the Elks Lodge.
A loving husband, father and brother, he was loved by all who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, a sister, and one son.
He is survived by his wife, Anna Winters, one son, three daughters, two brothers, two sisters, 17 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
The family suggests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Sitka Elks Lodge 1662.
Thanks to the generosity and expertise of the the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska broadband department, Tidal Network ; Christopher Cropley, director of Tidal Network; and Luke Johnson, Tidal Network technician, SitkaSentinel.com is again being updated. Tidal Network has been working tirelessly to install Starlink satellite equipment for city and other critical institutions, including the Sentinel, following the sudden breakage of GCI's fiberoptic cable on August 29, which left most of Sitka without internet or phone connections. CCTHITA's public-spirited response to the emergency is inspiring.
