Charles Winney
Charles Winney, longtime dining staffer, died December 8, 2006, in New Rochelle, N.Y.
Charlie joined ߣ¶ÌÊÓÆµâ€™s food service in 1961 and retired as a roundsman in 1985.
According to niece Debra Youngblood, a ߣ¶ÌÊÓÆµ Shop retiree, her uncle “loved working
at ߣ¶ÌÊÓÆµ.â€� His enthusiasm was so strong that “if his shift ended and there was
work to be done, he would stay to complete it,� she said. She also noted that Charlie
was an avid walker and reader. Mary O’Donnell, a library retiree, knew Charlie for
a number of years and remembers his love of Saratoga news and history: “When prompted
by people to write a book, Charlie would laugh and say he had ‘the unwritten history.’�
Mary added, “He was such a nice man and had a good sense of humor and fun about him.�
Predeceased by wife Thelma and a son, Charlie was survived by two daughters, three
grandchildren, six great-grands, and nieces and nephews.
