Brother Winston was a great man with great passion for our community. He will be missed so much. I myself will miss our conversations around town and through emails. RIP Brother Winston.
He will be greatly missed by many! I appreciated and loved his dedication to his great grandsons team and support of my own son, Croy, at every game! He was a great man who’s seat will never be able to be filled at any of the sporting events! Our hearts and prayers are with all of his large loving family and his many friends!! Mr. Sullivan, your memory will stay with everyone who met you forever!!!!
So sorry for your loss but happy for his freedom
I will dearly miss you.
We are so sorry to hear of Winston’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. ??
The image of a builder is dominant when I think of Winston. He knew how to plan, finance, and lay a solid foundation for a building . By the time he finished, every detail down to the last nail was accounted for and in its proper place. In his relationship with his family, friends and even strangers, you could trust his steady hand. As a builder, Winston will live on through his projects but more important, the individuals who were fortunate to know him.
Judy, our prayers are with you and the family.
Mr. Winston was one of a kind. He always had a listening ear and loved to talk about his sweetheart, Mrs. Judy. A man that truly sought after God’s own heart. He will be missed by our community, friends and family but Heaven is sweeter with him there. Thoughts and prayers to each of you – Mrs. Judy, Marlon and Jina and family.
Dottie and I will miss this great person and long time friend. He has been a blessing to us in many ways. We will be praying for Judy, Jina and Marlon in their time of loss. We know Winston is with his maker and is no longer in any pain. I feel he would want each of us to continue on with life and try to help others we meet in our daily life. We will miss you Winston and we will see you at a later date. God Bless…

Over the years I have gone to Winston for counsel on many of life’s situations. I usually took his advice and most of time when I didn’t I regretted it. He was the most astute businessman that I have ever known and he conducted himself with honesty and integrity. Winston’s faith in our Lord was unshakable! A life well lived – he will be sorely missed.

Judy, I am so sorry to hear of your loss of your wonderful, sweet, funny husband, Winston. I will always remember the wonderful time Lewis and I had when we came to your home in Texas.

Blessings to you and your family. He was a great guy. Hugs.
