Winston dedicated his life to civil service, he had a real love for Terrebonne 
Parish and the people living within the community. He was a part of several 
council committees, civic organizations, and community service programs. Some 
of these groups include: Lifetime member of Houma Terrebonne Jaycees, Boy 
Scouts of America, Knights of Columbus, Houma Lions Club, Sons of American 
Legions, Founder of Louisiana Praline Festival, and Legion Pool Manager. He did 
all of this while staying active with the youth of our parish coaching all 
sports with Terrebonne Recreation Program. With all of Winston’s achievements 
as a civil service leader and career man his favorite “job” of all was being a 
loving son, brother, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend.

The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Jules Dupont and Dr. 
Ralph Bourgeois.
