My father, Stewart passed away this past Thursday. In Czernowitz, he was known as Sigi Schapira., since his paternal grandparents in Brezhany, Galicia, only had a religious and not civil marriage and he was forced to use his paternal grand mother's last name at birth. The last name had been Vinter in Brezhany, but following the lead of a cousin, he changed it to Winters when he became a US citizen. I am enclosing the eulogy I proudly wrote about him. He was a walking encyclopedia. In the 1960s-10980s he and my mother Blanka, who passed away this past October were active in the Bukovina society in NY.
