A Tribute to My Father, Boyd B. Winans Pt. 1
By Boyd R. Winans
I was shocked when I heard my father had died of lung cancer, because I didn’t even know
he was sick. However, I was not surprised he hadn’t told anyone how sick he was or his ex-
pressed last wishes. He wanted to be cremated, with no funeral, and his ashes dropped from a
cliff into a Georgia river.
His whole life he was a very humble, poor, and hard working guy. His whole life until he
retired– some 60 years of working different jobs– illustrates many of God’s promises worth liv-
ing for Psalm 25:9 states, “He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them His way.” In Prov-
erbs 15:33 it says, “The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humili-
ty.” I like the way Psalm 159:4 puts it: “The Lord delights in his people; He crowns the humble
with victory.”
Born in West Virginia in the poor house, in 1928, he was forced to leave soon after his
birth, because the woman owner didn’t like his mother. When he attended school, he had to leave
after completing only the third grade, so he could help work and support his parents. After mar-
riage at 19, to my mother, who was 38, he had to support his family, which included me in 9
months. Barely able to read and write, he had to do any kind of manual labor he could find to
help support his family. During the depression era, in West Virginia, there were few jobs.
Therefore, my father had to do a variety of different jobs. For a short time, he ran a small
grocery store in Parkersburg, West Virginia, with my mother. They had to put me in a bread box
in the front window of the store while they worked. There was once a picture of me as a baby in
this breadbox. Boy, was I chubby.
He even helped pour concrete at the Wood County Airport, I think, in Parkersburg, West
Virginia. When we moved to Marietta, Ohio, my father worked as a truck driver and mechanic at
Crystal Dairy, a small local dairy. After he went to work as truck mechanic, he finally found a job
he could really do well. Being very mechanically oriented, he became a very skilled mechanic.
He worked at Stowe’s trucking company, a local international Harvester dealership in Marietta,
as a mechanic for over twenty years.
A good description of my father’s work is in Galatians 6:4-5, as it states “Pay careful atten-
tion to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done and you won’t
need to compare yourself to anyone else, for we are each responsible for our own work.”
My father became a very skilled mechanic but never boasted. He just did his job very care-
fully and well, without drawing any attention to himself. Even Jesus said in Matthew 5:5,
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” I hope I inherited some of his determina-
tion to do a job well. My father liked to work on cars and truck engines because he liked fixing
anything mechanically. I am sure I was a disappointment in this area for I hated working on cars
or trucks. I liked to read books, get good grades in school, and help my mother with her house-
work. My father did teach me two important lessons: One, to work hard, do your best and do not
brag about it. In Psalms 23:8 it states: “In all labor there is profit , but idle chatter only leads to
poverty.”

net classes. We will now offer classes on email and Microsoft Word.
 E-reader Training– We currently offer one on one e-reader training for those who
would like help downloading e-books from the library.

per, etc.), let us know.
 Games– We will provide interactive games , any equipment necessary to play them,
and a fun attitude! Pictionary, trivia, spelling bees, and jeopardy are a few examples.
If you are interested in any of these programs, or have ideas for any others, let your

housing). Or give us a call at 614-259-5034.

  • 2. P a g e 2 Patron Stories A Tribute to My Father, Boyd B. Winans Pt. 1 By Boyd R. Winans I was shocked when I heard my father had died of lung cancer, because I didn’t even know he was sick. However, I was not surprised he hadn’t told anyone how sick he was or his ex- pressed last wishes. He wanted to be cremated, with no funeral, and his ashes dropped from a cliff into a Georgia river. His whole life he was a very humble, poor, and hard working guy. His whole life until he retired– some 60 years of working different jobs– illustrates many of God’s promises worth liv- ing for Psalm 25:9 states, “He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them His way.” In Prov- erbs 15:33 it says, “The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humili- ty.” I like the way Psalm 159:4 puts it: “The Lord delights in his people; He crowns the humble with victory.” Born in West Virginia in the poor house, in 1928, he was forced to leave soon after his birth, because the woman owner didn’t like his mother. When he attended school, he had to leave after completing only the third grade, so he could help work and support his parents. After mar- riage at 19, to my mother, who was 38, he had to support his family, which included me in 9 months. Barely able to read and write, he had to do any kind of manual labor he could find to help support his family. During the depression era, in West Virginia, there were few jobs. Therefore, my father had to do a variety of different jobs. For a short time, he ran a small grocery store in Parkersburg, West Virginia, with my mother. They had to put me in a bread box in the front window of the store while they worked. There was once a picture of me as a baby in this breadbox. Boy, was I chubby. He even helped pour concrete at the Wood County Airport, I think, in Parkersburg, West Virginia. When we moved to Marietta, Ohio, my father worked as a truck driver and mechanic at Crystal Dairy, a small local dairy. After he went to work as truck mechanic, he finally found a job he could really do well. Being very mechanically oriented, he became a very skilled mechanic. He worked at Stowe’s trucking company, a local international Harvester dealership in Marietta, as a mechanic for over twenty years. A good description of my father’s work is in Galatians 6:4-5, as it states “Pay careful atten- tion to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else, for we are each responsible for our own work.” My father became a very skilled mechanic but never boasted. He just did his job very care- fully and well, without drawing any attention to himself. Even Jesus said in Matthew 5:5, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” I hope I inherited some of his determina- tion to do a job well. My father liked to work on cars and truck engines because he liked fixing anything mechanically. I am sure I was a disappointment in this area for I hated working on cars or trucks. I liked to read books, get good grades in school, and help my mother with her house- work. My father did teach me two important lessons: One, to work hard, do your best and do not brag about it. In Psalms 23:8 it states: “In all labor there is profit , but idle chatter only leads to poverty.” TO BE CONTINUED...
