Winston L. Cave Winston L. Cave, age 82, of Austin, died May 4, 2005. Winston was born on April 15, 1923, in Bishop, Texas, to Vernie Vista and Jessie Gautier Cave.
Winston joined the U.S. Army in June 1943, deploying with the 100th Infantry Division, Company K., to France in October 1944. During the fighting in Eastern France he was wounded twice and was hospitalized in France and England for several months. He eventually returned to France and was stationed near Paris until returning home in January 1946. He received two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star for his service in World War II.
He reentered Texas A&I University in September 1946, where he met his future wife, Barbara Cummins. After their marriage in August 1947, they were blessed with two sons and two daughters, all four of whom graduated from the University of Texas at Austin. A grandson joined the group in 2002. Orange blood truly runs in their family!
Winston received his bachelor's degree from A&I and his master's degree from UT-Austin, but the "degree" he was probably most proud of was an Honorary Doctorate of Friendship which he received upon his retirement from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, where he spent the last twenty-four years of his work career. He taught and coached in schools in Ingleside, Uvalde, and Austin High and Johnston.
Church life was always important to Winston. He was an ordained deacon, and served in many different capacities at University Baptist, Highland Park Baptist and First Baptist Austin. He loved greeting members and visitors, but his favorite jobs usually involved the church kitchen.
He was preceded in death by his daughter, Carol Diane Cave, as well as his brother, Vernie Vista Cave, Jr. Winston is survived by his loving wife of fifty-seven years, Barbara; his children Mike and Ginger Cave of San Antonio, Cathy and Jack Cartwright of Austin, and Tom and Cindy Cave of Richardson; his grandchildren Chris Cave of San Antonio, Drew, Will and Sam Cave of Richardson, and Allison Cave of Tulsa, Oklahoma; his great-grandson Drayden Dickmann of Tulsa.
