David E. Winter ’69

The Class of 1969 sustained the loss of a distinguished classmate with the Aug. 17, 2013, death of David E. Winter.

A Californian, Dave graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach, where he played the bassoon and was in the All-City High School band. After graduating from Princeton as an art history major, he earned a master’s degree and a doctorate in art history at Stanford. He taught at the University of Virginia until 1980, and then became a lecturer at Stanford while teaching English as a second language in California’s Cupertino Union District. In 1987, he relocated to Tokyo, where he lived for the remainder of his life, teaching English and art history at five different Japanese universities.

Dave blended a great sense of humor with a keen intellect. Although he never married and had no children of his own, he was very close to his brother Hugh’s three children and devoted to his mother, Julia Elizabeth Winter. To them all, we send our sympathy at this time of loss.
