“I met Winks Gundlach when I joined the Houghton Rotary Club in January of 2004. He was welcoming and friendly right from the start. I felt like he was a natural mentor, encouraging me to strive for greater challenges and responsibilities both professionally and in Rotary. Although I only knew him a short time, I cherish those memories. I always looked forward to our talks. Our brief friendship was a gift that still brings me joy.”
