Winston was my Teacher Assistant at the U of A, and he was great. He was a very humble and intelligent person. I am sadden by the news, which I just found out today while in class. When I asked another peer where he was, because I missed him running our study sessions. My prayers are for all his family. May God send his Holy Spirit to comfort you and lift up your head in these hard times. Rest in Peace Winston.
