What a loss.

I feel terrible that I didn't get the chance to get together and say hello in the last 2 years. I'll always be honored to say I knew Winnie and had some very good times with him.

My condolences to Carolina, Christina, Maria and all the little ones and I wish the best for all of you...

To the Barrie Family:


Although I did not have much contact with Winston over the years. I have fond memories of our adventures at Antara Inc. I am sorry I did not know of his passing till just recent.

Winston was a great influence on my life I will always remember how kind and helpful he was. I think back at our business trip to (HONG KONG).

I remember how much he taught me about Chinese foods and the Chinese culture which
always stayed with me and the wonderful Trade
shows.

Winston was a great influence on me. I will never forget him I am greatly saddened by this news.

My Deepest Condolences to the Barrie Family.

"God Bless You Winston"

My daughter, Ann, and I are so terribly saddened to learn of Winston's death. He was such a good friend to us both and what fun we had with him in Saigon.
To his Mother and Son we send our deepest thoughts and prayers.

Winston was a great friend whom I had the pleasure of knowing since his youth. Like his father,George,he was a true gentleman. I am reminded of Winston and the Barrie family on ski trips to Mammoth at this time of year.
I am glad we made contact on my last visit to Los Angeles in September.

Querido Amigo-Vayas a Dios y descanses en paz. Para tus fideles, Dios, la vida cambia, no cesa.

Winston and I shared a love of California history and were proud of our hispanic ancestors.

I'm sorry to lose my friend Winston so young. Friend to me and my brother, easily the most interesting person I met at Thunderbird almost 40 years ago. He had a wealth of wild stories about people and places; and was always planning something interesting.

I'll miss you old friend, and I'm sorry we did not have more time.

Winston this is a devasting loss to all of us that we're lucky enough to call you a friend. You were undeniably the most charming man. A true gentleman. Class act. Your brilliance and knowledge of the world was vast. You were always the life of any dinner party. You taught me to enjoy the flavors of the world . You were an inspiration to all of us. I will cherish every moment and memory . I will never forget your bilingualism. You spoke so eloquently,Arabic Spanish,French etc.....my life will never be the same . I will never forget you my friend....forever in my Heart.....
