Winkle Family Genealogy
Bob and Leila Winkle family
This page is about the family of Bob and Leila Winkle, who are my parents. They mostly lived at 550 N. 104th Street in Wauwatosa, WI, but started their married life in my mom's apartment at 1712 W. Greenleaf in Chicago and lived in the early 50's at 9319 W Adler. We moved my dad to Madison so I could help him with things and so he'd be safer... he fell three times in the last three years he lived alone, the last time breaking his hip and unable to move for four days.
