    He was a gentle giant. I always had to look up to him cause he was a big guy, but boy was he sweet. Always made me feel welcome and especially loved. He will hold a special place in my heart as does Aunt Peggy. Lots and lots of wonderful memories with all of you. Our sincere sympathy to all of you.

    I Love Lee like my own family.
    We worked together for so many years
    and his advice and knowledge helped me grow in my career and
    as a person. A man's man who came from a time when a handshake
    was your bond and a double cross was met with a right hand! A heavy
    heart says goodbye to a great friend.
    Sympathy from the Connell family to the Entire Winslow family.

    First of all, Harry was my surrogate Dad, then over the next 40 years he taught me valuable lessons about being a Dad. I would not be who I am today without this man's guidance and wisdom. I will have to work very hard to be half the man he was. You set the bar high Harry! Rest in Peace my friend, I love you and will miss you.

    I remember a man of great stature, with a fantastic sense of humor who you could call any time of the day to share a laugh with. I learned so much about life from him and will always be thankful for the time we spent together.
    Until we meet again.

    Lee Winslow was a great guy and class act all the way. He was such a mentor to so many of us. A great friend of my Dad even taking time years ago to give `tips of advice` to my Dad when he was working running the town`s grader. Something that Lee never outgrew or lost patience for,teaching so many of the younger generations the tricks of the trade. Always a smile,kind word with a wise crack mixed in. They don`t make them like him anymore. . . He and my Dad used to refer to each other as Frank and Jesse James when they worked together. The `James` boys will be reunited grading off the roads upstairs. A tip of the cap to a top notch operater. . .
