Leland N. Winslow, who established a painting company in Amagansett in 1981, died of cancer at home there on March 11. He was 91 and had been ill for four years.
Born in Naugatuck, Conn., on July 15, 1930, to Leland N. Winslow and the former Mildred Edwards, Lee Winslow attended the Amagansett School and East Hampton High School. From 1949 to 1952, he served with the Army Corps of Engineers in Germany, where he operated heavy equipment, including cranes, and traveled through Europe with a convoy.
After returning home to Amagansett, where his family had settled on Hand Lane when he was 6, he met Carmela Savoia of Terryville, Conn. They were married on Sept. 5, 1953, and were a familiar sight to neighbors, walking down the lane hand in hand, well into old age. She survives.
Mr. Winslow worked for many years as a night manager at the old East Hampton A&P before leaving to become a self-employed painting contractor. L.W. Winslow Painting is now under the direction of his son, Leland W. Winslow of Amagansett.
Cars were a passion of his. Over the years he owned Model A Fords, Model T Fords, a 1932 Pontiac, and a 1935 Chevrolet coupe. Whether it was sports cars, sedans, classics, or antiques, "he loved them all," his family said.
After he retired in 1993, the Winslows made many trips to the Catskills, where they enjoyed German food and country square dancing at the Mountain Brauhaus in Gardiner, N.Y. Thanksgivings were often spent with family at their son's mountain getaway in Mount Holly, Vt.
Mr. Winslow and his wife also traveled often to Sebastian, Fla., to visit Suzanne Winslow-Foster, his daughter from his first marriage. She survives, as does another daughter, Wendy D. Dundon of Gloucester, Mass.
In addition to his son, other survivors include five grandchildren, Eric Dundon, Jennifer Dundon, Leland Winslow, Mellissa Winslow, and Kylena Foster, and four great-grandchildren. Two sisters, Ruth and Millie, and two brothers, Robert and Donald, died before him.
Ms. Winslow was a member of the Amagansett Presbyterian Church. Burial was in Southampton; a memorial service will be held at a later date.
