Edwin R. Winter passed on April 22, 2007. Ed was founder of Winters Rigging, a well known and well respected company best known to us railfans as the guys who clean up derailments in WNY and beyond. I grew up on the main road in a town near the Winters home base. When the windows rattled and the dishes shook, a glance out the window would confirm that a convoy of Winters trucks was heading out of town to clean up someones problem somewhere!
