Winston Kaye is pictured here with wife Marilyn Kaye. This picture was taken in 2003 at their daughter's wedding. Winston was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma cancer in 2006 and lost the battle against the disease on October 10, 2007. Winston will be missed by his wife Marilyn of 43 years, their six children, & their spouses, his mom & stepfather, sister, and so many more.

Winston contributed to the growth of Arts Towing more than anyone will know. He was the silent partner in the purchase of Arts Towing and helped us grow into the company we are today.

He touched the hearts of everyone he came in contact with; employees, salesmen, parts personnel, coffee truck driver, trash men, and so many more. He was kind, happy, fun, free-spirited, full of jokes, loving, sincere, honest, loyal, and smart, an inventor, and the most amazing person I will have ever known

Thank you to those who supported us during his passing, and please accept our apologies to those who did not know about dad losing his life to cancer.

Our family messages to those from the "Old School" if it hurts see a doctor.

Dad came from a line of Navy Men including 3 uncles and his own father Winslow. Winslow was an inventor who made significant changes to the automatic transmission when it was first being used in automobiles. Dad would have probably served in the Military also but had cerebral palsy caused by an accident when he was very young. His right side was affected so much due to this accident, as a right handed person, he had to relearn how to do everything with his left hand. This did not slow him down any. As kids we barely noticed has handicap. Dad went on to live a happy and successful life filled with 6 children and working 2 jobs to support his family.

In the early 1970's Dad bought a trash truck and rubbish route in Oxford, Massachusetts. He proceeded to operate his own business until he could quit his second night job at General Springs. His route was very successful. During the years he had many young helpers, us Kaye kids. After all we were working for "K Trucking". His route was very successful and grew upwards acquiring about 900 customers of which he serviced mostly by himself. His type of service was complete and with a smile, and this is why his route was so successful. During the rubbish route we all learned to work hard and work together. As the years went on adversity was no stranger. Our younger brother was struck by a car after attending a Gospel Service. Daryn was 3 and just a couple years younger than Jon. He was in a coma for a few years including time in the hospital and at home. During one night he lost the breathing apparatus and passed on. During these years of turmoil our family bonded together in a way that could not be scripted. Dad and Mom also had an eighth child, Melody, who died a day after she was born.

Dad eventually sold his trash route to BFI and he stayed working for them for a number of years, until we invited him to work with us at Arts Towing. Dad came aboard and we had a full team of Kaye's ready to take on the towing business. He worked at Arts for a solid 10 years before he got sick in early 2006. His favorite thing to do at Arts was to be under a truck on a creeper totally covered in grease. He showed his inventor blood daily, continually noticing design flaws in certain parts and then making new parts with his hands and some machine shop tools at his Webster garage.

Most importantly dad was a Christian man, attending services 2 or 3 times weekly. He and mom raised us all with Jesus and with love. Dad was the cornerstone of our lives.
