Sydney Brown, my sister, & I met Windy, our neighbor, when he first started on cars, in his mom's chicken coop..I was 12 at that time, now 87, so we've been friends for many years..water skied together, and many great times together with his wife at that time, Deloris..We regret not knowing of his memorial service, but were not told of it. Windy was a great guy and friend, and we'll miss him..We give our thanks to everyone that put his memorial together..I just wish we hadn't missed it. Carla Lee

My oldest late brother Joel Zuñiga got his first auto body repair job after Korean War service with Gene . Joel was learning across the street n Gene hired him at MJC . Zuñiga has always thought of Gene as a gracious person. En Paz Descanse Amigo .

I doubt most of us will never work and enjoy our lives as long as Gene lived with the vast, creative diversity he did. Custom Cars, the Galileo
Shuttlecraft, among just a few of the creations that touched millions
of us.
"Thank You"does not even to begin to cover what your work means to all of us. You and all your work will never be forgotten !!

Mr.Winfield created some amazing work on cars for years. The work he did was unlike anything that had been done. His work was well known and seen in movies and on TV. He truly was in a class by himself. Prayers for the Winfield family, so very sorry for your loss.
