I just found out on the BCC reunion site that Winston passed away last year. I remember Winston so well. We were in the same home room at Leland Junior High School and BCC. He was one of those people who garnered your respect by his very presence, tone of voice, and intellect. I'm happy he had a good life but saddened by his early departure from this existance.

My best to his family in their loss.

Winston was one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. Patient, loving, friendly, and always willing to listen and give good advice. You no longer have pain, my friend, rest in peace in heaven, where I hope to meet you again. I miss you so much. My condolences to the whole family.
