JOHN “JACK” 
HARLEY 
WINKELMAN, 
93, of San Diego, 
Calif., died 
March 20, 2023, 
following a long decline.
Jack was born in Detroit. 
As a child, he was notorious 
for his mischief making, 
often dragging his twin 
brother, Fred, along with 
him. 
After serving as an Army 
corpsman in Korea, Jack 
joined the family business, 
a chain of women’s clothing 
stores called Winkelman’s. 
He moved to New York to 
run the buying office for 
Winkelman’s and, on a trip 
back to Michigan, he met 
Sharon Robinson at a party. 
They married soon there-

after, and she joined him in 
New York where Leslye was 
born. 
The family made the sub-
urban trek from Queens to 
Yonkers to Stamford, Conn., 
where they stayed through 
Leslye’s high school years.
