  • Dale Winton Tribute for Archive
    DALE JONATHAN WINTON TV presenter, disc jockey and entertainer 22nd May 1955 - 18th April 2018 Tribute taken from ceremony conducted on Tuesday 22nd May 2018, at One Marylebone, London NW1 4AQ By Rupert Morris, Humanists UK Even to those who hardly knew him, Dale Winton was a bringer of joy. He connected with people of all types and all ages, all over the English-speaking world, communicating a flirtatious yet fundamentally innocent love of life – and laughter. It is hard to say the name, or even think of him, without smiling. Dale Jonathan Winton was born in North London on 22 May. His father, Gary Winner, was a Jewish businessman in his forties, more than 20 years older than his mother Sheree, a beautiful and glamorous woman who had just embarked on a showbusiness career that was to bring her TV appearances alongside Terry-Thomas and Frankie Howerd, as well as parts in several British films. Dale was named after Dale Robertson, the handsome star of the TV western series Wells Fargo. Young Dale had quite a conventional upper middle-class upbringing, with a nanny, then a succession of au pairs. They had holidays at Cannes on the French riviera. At the age of eight, Dale was sent to prep school, initially as a boarder, which he hated. He was rather a chubby 1 boy with no interest in team games and little enthusiasm for academic study. He would have preferred to spend more time hanging around the film studios where Sheree was getting work. This was around the time that Sheree got a part in the first Beatles film, A Hard Day’s Night, and young Dale was soon starstruck.
