Winthrop Paul Rockefeller came from a family that promoted philanthropy and duty. He upheld his famous grandmother’s (Abigail “Abby” Rockefeller) favorite Bible verse , which is on a plaque on Winrock Farms: “And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8.<\/p>\n

Rockefeller faithfully performed his duties as lieutenant governor by introducing gun-safety procedures such as Project Homesafe (Rockefeller was a hunter and a member of the National Rifle Association (NRA)) and reassuring Arkansas’s people after the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center towers.  But he also shared his love of a good time with his fellow Arkansans and guests as evidenced by his joyful grin captured in photographs during festive events.<\/p>\n

Winthrop Paul Rockefeller died July 16, 2006, from a rare blood disorder at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. He is buried at Winrock Farms, Petit Jean Mountain, Conway County, Arkansas.<\/p>\n
