He has left behind many wonderful memories for his family and friends that knew him. Wince became blind after an accident when he was a small child. In his mid life he lost both of his parents within a year. He remained alone in the family home continuing to support himself on the small farm. He was a very independent man, to the point of owning his own truck so that others could drive it to where ever he needed or wanted to go. He loved to listen to the Cardinal's game on the radio almost as much as the nephews and their friends enjoyed being on the farm with him. They each tell stories and share their memories of the great time they had with Wince. He taught them to laugh and find joy with the simple things in life.Funeral services for Mr. Winstead W.
