Ernest Winfield Kilton's Obituary
Ernest Winfield Kilton, 69, died quietly on October 16, 2017 from non-hodgkin’s lymphoma. He was born on June 10, 1948 In Riverdale, Maryland to Ernest Winfield Kilton and Vera Sweeney Kilton Brereton. Ernest and his beloved wife Mary Kathryn Lee recently celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. Professionally, Ernest was a computer technician, and he worked for many years under contract to the Office of Naval Research. Personally and philosophically, he was a poet, dancer, pool player and thinker with a playful and mercurial spirit who equally loved a party and quiet time at home. He is known for “tiger hunting” with children, dancing with the bride, and holding court in the garage with friends while enjoying a few drinks and many laughs. He loved going to the beach and traveling to Europe. He is survived by his wife Mary K, brothers Gilbert Kilton and Richard Kilton, and nephew Gary Kilton. He will be remembered with great fondness, laughter and perhaps a few eye rolls by everyone!
