GUILDERLAND — Carter Allen Andersson-Wintle of Guilderland and Davenport, Florida died peacefully on Sunday, Nov. 14, 2021, at Albany Medical Center, with his loving wife and daughters by his side, after a courageous 20-year battle with cancer. He was 72.

Born in Syracuse, New York, on April 4, 1949, he was the eldest son of the late Harley and Alice (née Rickards) Wintle.

“After high school, Carter enlisted and proudly served in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Henry L. Stimson nuclear submarine from 1967 to 1971, where he earned the National Defense Service and the Meritorious Unit Commendation Medals,” his family wrote in a tribute. “After his honorable discharge, he attended both Onondaga Community College and SUNY Albany, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in economics.

“He worked for the State of New York in the departments of Labor and Tax and Finance, before embarking on a fulfilling second career as senior vice president of Production at Newkirk Products. He had a notable and extraordinary work ethic.

“Carter was an avid runner and marathoner, who directed the Manufacturers Hanover Corporate Challenge (now the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge) in Albany from 1983 to 1992. He loved rock and classical music, his many fast cars and racing, traveling with his family and friends, golfing, and his Harley-Davidson Fat Boy.

“After retiring in 2011, he and his wife, Linnea, enjoyed spending their winters at their home in Florida in a community with their ‘Swedish cousins’ and many new friends. Carter was devoted to his family, a true and loyal friend, and had an awesome sense of humor and a wholehearted laugh.”
