Alan Winton 1938 - 2025

Alan W. Winton, 87, a resident of Yonkers, NY, sadly passed away on August 31, 2025, surrounded by his caring family. Alan was born in New York City on June 30, 1938, to the late Max and Sophie Winton. After graduating from City College, Alan went onto become a CPA and served in the Army Reserves. Growing up in the Bronx, and playing basketball, he was affectionately known to his friends as the Whiz or Wizzy. He was a enthusiastic NFL fan, and lifelong follower of the NY Jets. His greatest passion was playing poker. Alan played two to three times a week throughout his life, most recently with a group of friends in Queens, until just before his passing. He was even a participant in the World Series of Poker tournament. He was also an avid reader and enjoyed going to and watching movies.

In addition to his beloved wife of 35 years Lucille, Alan is survived by his cherished children Robert (Tamara), Rose (Ronald) Quintero, his adoring grandchildren Leah, Daniel, Amanda, Andrew and Sarah and his loving sister Susan (Jerry) Schoendorf. A memorial service is being held at Weinstein Memorial Chapel in Yonkers. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Alan’s memory may be made to The Cancer Support Team in Purchase, NY (www.cancersupportteam.org) or to the PACER Center in Minneapolis, MN (www.pacer.org)
