Nicdain Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I am very sorry to hear that. I had a very good impression of his personality and humanity from the interviews made for BoB. Thank you for posting the news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmar Bijlsma Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Shame such men cannot be made to last forever. Ah, I've just made a thread about this on the GF. Should have looked here first I guess. Hohum, you should have looked there too. At least you make up for it by making the OP quite good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyJJ Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 One of the finest and most thoughtfully courageous human beings to have ever graced this fair Earth. We have lost a great man ... but history will never forget him and the men he served with. If only each of us could live as honourably as he did. RIP, sir. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadiemullet Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 What a shame, he came across as a genuinely nice guy in the BoB interviews, and if the book and TV series representation are anything to go by, was indeed a nice person. Not to mention an outstanding CO. Wonder if he played CM? Probably died waiting for it to come out hoho, seriously tho, rest in peace. With all the idiots in the world when someone like this dies its a genuine loss to the human race. May he live on in CMBN! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piecekeeper Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I finished " band of brothers" (for the 4th time i think) yesterday and after I closed the book I started to think about winters and wondered if he was still alive, strange. When these kind of men pass away its a great loss for the humanity. But after all...lots of men lost their lives in that war and Winters could have been one of these unlucky ones, RIP! Youre my hero. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Wargamer Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Pity indeed. Such a shame to loose such a great person. If there is an afterlife I hope he is there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnart Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 A salute to this great leader, and role model to strive to be like. R.I.P. Funny I never met the man in person, but feel I "know" him in a sense from seeing Band of Brothers countless times as well as reading the books, so this news is sad to hear. It is hard to believe that in the not too distant future we will no longer have any of these great heroes from that truly “greatest generation”. I highly recommend reading his “Beyond Band of Brothers” personal memoir as it gives greater insight to his character, and leadership code he followed. Some of the other Easy Co. men have written their personal accounts of the story too. Babe Heferon, and Bill Garniure wrote a book together, and Don Malarkey has a book. All were good reads, and are recommended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
