Loving his family, PJ is survived by his 2 Children: Paul & Nicole (Garcia) Winans, Dolly & James Myers. 5 Grandchildren: Christopher & Kim Heren, Austin & Kelsey Sario, Alyssa Winans & Chase, Gabriel & Jade Saxon, and Hannah Myers & Jonathan. 3 Great Grandchildren: Aydan, Hazel, and Jax. 5 Siblings: David & Becky Winans, Flo & Rob Achter, Doug & Katie Winans, Gayle & Pete Schack, and Leigh & Sam Cluff. 15 nieces & nephews and 35 great nieces & nephews.
PJ was a good person who would stop and help anyone on the side of the road. He was an Air Force Veteran who served his Country during the Vietnam War. He loved his Country. He loved to hunt, fish, camp and spend time with his best friend and brother-in-law Sam. He was one of the best auto mechanics there ever was, there wasn't anything he could not fix. His math skills were incredible, he could add things up in his head. Example: He would add his groceries up including the tax and know exactly how much he would have to pay at the register.
PJ’s legacy lives on through the countless hearts he touched during his time with us.
