Winston, the little dog with a big personality has gone.
Many members will remember Winston from pictures posted on this site. He was also a regular at the yearly get togethers and usually managed to find his way into the group photos. Here he is in Norwalk Ohio. I think this was in 2007.
Here's a few more pictures of Winston...

Sorry to to hear about Winston, we never met but never met a dog I didn't like.To me a good dog is worth more than most relatives.
Thanks for all the kind words.
We'll miss Winston but he did have a good life and he did live for 10 1/2 years, which if pretty good for a Bulldog.
He was a bit of a rascal sometimes. One of his favorite tricks was to lie around the shop waiting for you to go under a car on a creeper. He'd wait until you had both hands busy then come charging under to lick your face.
He hasn't been able to come to the shop as much lately but it's especially empty around here knowing he won't be back supervise our projects. He was almost always funny and happy.
As you know, I always tried to get him in the picture. Here's a few of my favorites.
This one with Denny's crew member is good. ( I can't remember her name right now )
They're in front of Phil and Candy's bikes at Norwalk.
I also like this one with the Mack truck.
And here he is after a hard night of being Elvis at Halloween.

Giny & I are very sorry to hear about "WINSTON". I met him at Thompson last year. I said hi and he came right over to me with his back end wobbling all over the place. I bet he was a fixture at your shop for all those years and a bestfriend.Our heart goes out to you. I know when I had to put my shep-lab mix of 17 years down last year ,my wife and I were devastated.That dog was like a daughter to us. AT least now"WINSTON" is in a good place with no more pain.
Jim and Jim :
Sorry to learn of the passing of Winston, he was as special a mascot that we could have hoped to have at our events.

He was, part of your team, and part of your family. He will be missed.
Winston was the 409 mascot who will not be forgotten. I only recall him missing (1) get together. Winston was liked by all.
Jim I'm sorry about Winston. I think the first time I saw him in photo was on the HAMB during your Mack build. Loved the shots of him around the truck. Never got to meet him on the visits to your shop. They become so much a part of the family.
