Winston was a very reserved and humble spirit who protected his family with tenacity and pride.

Winston leaves to celebrate his life: his wife and devoted companion, Muriel Spence, children, grandchildren, siblings and a host of family and friends. He is pre-deceased by his grandson Ashantiwah Naphtali Spence. Winston remains a memorable man and he will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him.
