Bob was born March 25, 1938, in Pulaski County, Illinois, to the late James Lowell and Lorraine Edwards Winding.

He was a U.S. Army veteran, was employed with Consolidated Grain and Barge in Mound City, Illinois, for 25 years, and was an avid fisherman and outdoorsman.

Survivors include his wife, Nancy Winding of Mounds; children, Danny T. (Yvonne) Windings of Cobden, Illinois, Amy D.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two brothers, Gordon and Pete Windings.

Bob -- dear husband, father, grandfather and friend -- deserves a beautiful tribute. However, due to health concerns related to COVID-19 and by the signing of the executive order by Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, the visitation and funeral service will be private at 10 a.m. Thursday at Jones Funeral Home in Villa Ridge, Illinois.

Funeral will be at 11:30 a.m. Thursday at the funeral home, with Bob's nephew, John Windings, officiating.
