Memories and Condolences
for David Winn II

Not sure what to say?





Lois-its so hard to believe that its already 5 years since David passed away. The other day I was thinking about our week on the houseboat on Lake Powell in 1995. What a special time that was.
David will always live on in our memories and in his children and grandchildren.
Love-Syl

Dr. Winn was the first dentist I worked for out of Dental Assisting school. He taught me my love and passion for Dentistry. I owe much of my career to Dr. Winn as he trained and taught me much of what I know about Expanded Duties Dental Assisting. One of my favorite memories is when Dave, Chris, Alex and my dad, brother, and I went on a motorcycle trip to Moab together. Dr. David Winn was a mentor and a friend and he will be dearly missed.

Dear Lois and family,

It was with great regret that I received the news of Dave's passing. He was a highly respected colleague in dentistry and the patient and dental communities will surely miss his expertise and example. I certainly enjoyed the times "after hours" that we shared our philosophies and experiences. He was a good neighbor and it was a good ten years that we shared tenancy in the building.

Kindest regards,
B. Lawrence Bennett DDS
