He will be dearly missed by his beloved wife June, daughter Morgan and son-in-law Tom, grandson Quinten, mother Joycelyn, brother Andy and sister-in-law Julie, his brother-in-law David and sister-in-law Patricia Richardson, his nieces and nephews - Jason, Kristin (Aaron), James (Christie), Stephanie and great nieces and nephews – Jase, Isaiah, Aaliyah, Malachi, Hannah, Isaac, Ryland and Savannah. He is now with his father, the late Dr. Thomas Lawrence and his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Jane and Jim Richardson.

Winston was born in Trinidad and his family immigrated to Canada when he was 11 years old. He attended Woodlands High School in Mississauga and not only excelled in academics but as a member of the basketball team. He met and married his high school sweetheart June and this year they celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. He graduated from the University of Toronto with an Honours Bachelor of Science degree. Winston and June had the opportunity to live in Swaziland for two and half years when Winston was working on a project for the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). Winston employed his visionary skills for a career as an entrepreneur, with a specialty in technology. He demonstrated avid encouragement and continually supported June in following her dream of opening and operating her own business, The June Lawrence School of Dance.

Winston and June’s home was always the welcoming place for family gatherings for all holidays and special occasions. Winston was appreciative for the care he has received over the last few years from many individuals and medical teams and in particular, the Toronto General Hospital. Donations in his memory may be made to the Toronto General Hospital at www.uhnfoundation.ca/donation or by mail at UHN Foundation, 190 Elizabeth St., Toronto, ON. Winston will be cremated and an internment will be held in Southampton, Ontario at a later date.

He will be truly missed by his family and friends.
