Anthony Francis Winkler Sr. "Tony", age 78, of Houston, Texas (formerly of Bradford, PA) earned his angel wings on Wednesday, February 23, 2022. He was born on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1944, in Force, Pennsylvania to Norman and Ida Winkler. He graduated from Bradford Area High School in 1962, and then served honorably in the United States Air Force. Tony was a beloved partner, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend to many. Tony was a talented engineer who retired from Dresser-Rand in Olean, New York. Tony also enjoyed flying airplanes, sailing on Lake Erie, and working on his car. He is survived by his partner: Ellen Hinkle, children: Anthony Winkler Jr. (Sheila), Mark Winkler (Darlene), and three grandchildren: Ashley Winkler, Arantza Del Rivero, and Danielle Winkler. He is also survived by his sisters: Janet Crowley and Marilyn Hart, his brother Matthew Winkler, and many nieces and nephews. While Tony is in heavenly peace with the Lord, he will be dearly missed by those he left behind.

Tony, haven't seen you since high school, but recall our days as patrol boys at Hobson Place Elementary School. I still have scars from our rounds of dodge ball, always good to be on your team rather than oppose it! Looks like you had a very successful life - as it should be! God Bless you in Heaven my friend - and may God pour His blessings on all your family.

Tony was a good friend and trusted mentor. We worked at Dresser together from 1979 until his retirement. Most of what I knew about vibration analysis came from Tony. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Good memories of many lunches with Cousin Tony as he would visit my Mother on his lunch break from Dresser. His smile and laugh are unforgettable. We pray that the family is filled with the peace love and comfort of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Love to all.

So sad to hear about the loss of Tony . In typical Winkler style , he always had a pleasant disposition and smile on his face . Aunt Edith and Uncle Norman raised wonderful children . It saddens me to think we won't see him again in this world .
