From The Dallas Morning News :
Bill Winfrey was a self-taught photographer who twice captured historic images for The Dallas Morning News. On April 2, 1957, he captured a deadly funnel cloud as it ripped a path across Oak Cliff and, on Nov. 22, 1963, he took what many consider the definitive photo of a manacled Lee Harvey Oswald raising his fist, seemingly in defiance.
This photo of Lee Harvey Oswald on Nov. 22, 1963, was part of an exhibit at the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. Museum curator Gary Mack calls it one of the most iconic images of Oswald as it accurately depicts his 'defiant demeanor.'
Mr. Winfrey, 75, died Thursday at East Texas Medical Center in Athens of complications of heart disease and diabetes.
A memorial service was held Sunday at the Optimist Club in Seven Points, Texas.
"He was very outgoing and very compassionate," said his wife, Jean Winfrey of Seven Points. "He wanted to help everybody."
RAED THE REST HERE
