Sorry to here of Win's death. He was an inffluence on my life when I played for him on the Pal team. He took me under his wings as a teen. We had a succesful team under his direction. It was along time ago but I still remember him fondley.

I am touched by the memory of the warmth with which Win greeted me on his every visit to the Westminster Cracker Company. His self-effacing demeanor belied his outstanding salesmanship with which he contributed so significantly to the company’s success in New England for more than ten years. Operators to whom Win first introduced Westminster Crackers in years past still ask after him. All who knew Win will sorely miss him, and his passing will diminish our lives.

Our condoences to family and friends. I will miss that occasional meeting at the post office where we would talk about local sports or family. He always had a positive outlook on life and I always walked away feeling better. I was lucky to have known him. Our thoughts and prayers to you all.
