Fitness promoter Andrew C wrote me on YouTube with bad news.  6'5" (1.95m) bodybuilder Alan Winkler had died 08/20/2011in his sleep according to his girlfriend.  Andrew told me "I would like to thank you for the kind efforts on your part, having posted his videos on your website. He was very grateful for that.  I just thought you might want to know this and didn't want you to feel as though Alan was ignoring you. Least I could do seeing as though you promoted him without asking anything in return. You are an honorable man in my opinion.  Once again, thank you and be well. We will all miss Alan very much, as he was one of the nicest guys on the planet." Alan's comment on his YouTube site is suddenly touching:  "I am an honest person that likes to enjoy life, but also have goals and ambitions. I'm 6'5", and do take care of myself. I have a passion for working out and acting....which I do take seriously, but separate that part with the finer things in life...after all, life is short."  Early reports of him dying of a heart attack were incorrect.  The cause of death is unknown.
