When growing up in the 70's Winn was just another dad on our street that would get on to you just like your own. One of my favorite memories was Christmas of 1975 when Santa got all the kids skate boards. The dads ( Winn ) along with my step dad showed us kids how to skate down the hill. I don't think I laughed so hard in my entire life. Although it's been years since I have seen the Davis family know that my thoughts and prayers are with you Rhonda, Sean and Melissa. May your memories give you strength.
