Our class will not be the same. Princeton will not be the same. We have lost Winslow Lewis.
Enthusiastic, irreverent, unpredictable, irrepressible, loyal, gregarious, and Princeton to the core. A broad smile and explosive laugh. Winslow died of throat cancer Sept. 21, 2012, at home in Boulder, Colo.
Pomfret and Andover sent him to Princeton, following his father, three uncles, and three cousins. He was a member of Ivy Club, the varsity heavyweight crew, 21 Club, the Jamesburg Committee, and one of five men who took a tandem bicycle ride from Princeton to the Yale Bowl for an “in-your-face” lap.
Winslow’s professional career was in publishing, including Ladies Home Journal, National Geographic, Rolling Stone, Life International, Money magazine, and Time. He was a sailor, an airplane and glider pilot, a sergeant-major, a skier, a motorcycle rider, a sports-car enthusiast, and a target-shooter.
His third marriage, to Tina Johnson, was a charm, and he spent the last 35 years of his life with her. Scores of friends, including five ’59 classmates, attended a remembrance of Winslow’s life in Boulder Nov. 4, 2012.
Winslow is survived by Tina; daughters Brook and Diana; sons Winslow II and Parker; stepson Whitman Thompson; and his brother, Montgomery ’62. We have sent condolences. To have known Winslow was to see life lived to its fullest.
