Clint "Timmy" Winant

June 25, 1953 - December 8, 2018

Clint Timothy “Timmy” Winant, 65, passed from this world into the loving arms of God on December 8, 2018 at Columbia Memorial Hospital, surrounded by his devoted family. Born on June 25, 1953 in Great Barrington, Mass., he was the 3rd of 7 children born to Clint and Jeanette Winant. His father predeceased him. Left to cherish his memory are: his mother, Jeanette Winant of Ghent, NY, siblings, Teri (Jay) Cozza of Hudson, NY, Amy (Steve) Goldberg of Rowayton, CT, Brian Winant of Hudson, Kathy (Clayton) Clark of Hudson, John Winant of Bay Shore, NY, and Beth (James) Davis of Ausable Forks, NY. He is also survived by 11 nieces and nephews: Jill Cozza Turner, Tate and Jordan Cozza, Kristen Bielefeldt, Michael Clark, Alyssa and Aaron Goldberg, Amie Devlin, JD Davis, and Johnny and Julia Winant as well as 11 great nieces and nephews. All of them loved their Uncle Timmy! Timmy graduated from Hudson High School in 1971 and was a proud member of his class reunion committee. He continued his education at Dutchess Community College and Hunter College. He became an elementary teacher at P.S. 121 in the Bronx, where he taught for 25 years and served as the Union Rep for the UTF. “Mr. Winant” was loved by staff and students alike for his jovial personality, his willingness to chaperone noisy elementary school classes on museum field trips all over NYC, his penchant for wearing costumes to celebrate every holiday, and the hilarious songs he wrote for the faculty retirement parties he emceed. He was a member of the Dignity Society for several decades and attended St. Frances Xavier Catholic Church in Manhattan. Timmy enjoyed going to Broadway shows, traveling, watching his favorite TV show, “Survivor”, organizing treasure hunts for the little ones at family picnics (often dressed as a pirate!), swimming, and catching up on all the news with friends and family. "The world is a better place for having had our brother in it.” Calling hours are 4:00 to 7:00 pm Tuesday, December 11, 2018 at Bates and Anderson - Redmond & Keeler Funeral Home, 110 Green Street, Hudson.
