Winston spoke often of his wonderful childhood in Center. He loved ice cream and making people laugh. His love of life and quirky sense of humor will be missed. His favorite t-shirt said “Irony, the opposite of Wrinkly.”
The Warr family will inter Winston’s and Vickie’s ashes in the family plot at Fairview Cemetery on Saturday, April 13 at 10:30 am. There will be no service, but any friends wishing to join the family for an informal gathering are welcome at the gravesite.
