Carol Lynn, Larry, Paul , Patti and your extended families. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad and Grandfather. I fondly remember the many times Carol Lynn invited me for overnight stays during our high school days at the family home, the love Winston and Lorene had for each other and so easily displayed, the endless library of jokes Winston could instantly recall. I was unable to attend the funeral, please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

To Larry and Donna. I was surprised when Fran Told me that Winston had passedaway. The first thing I thought of was our days in Sunday School in James St Church. I think Winston and I are the longest and oldest members of the Exeter United Church. God bless you at this sad time. Irv.
