I often heard my mother (Geri/Geraldine Windt) speak of his wife Barbara. My mom was married to Frank Windt. We lived in Oak Lawn, then moved to California. My parents had a total of 11 children; myself being the last. Our large family grew up and lived in Santa Cruz. I moved to Laguna Beach for many years, and now reside in upstate New York. Just wanted to pay my respects to Thomas and of course, Barbara as well.

I knew Mr. Windt only a short time, but he was such a delightful man. I am so saddened to learn of his sudden passing. He is now with his beloved wife that he spoke of so often. I will miss him. Prayers for the family.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom and dad. I spoke to your dad several times since your mom’s passing, and clearly he was saddened and missed her deeply. We did (Pacific Giant) business together for almost 30 years and he always talked about his kids and grandkids and their accomplishmentshe was a very proud dad and grandpa and am certain he will be missed by all. God Bless.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Windt's passing. I know my father always enjoyed both working with him as well as chatting about sports with him while Mike and I played basketball for the Mt Greenwood team, the Sward team and the various YMCA teams.
