He was an avid UK and UL sports fan. Winston attended Vanderbilt University as a pre-med student and graduated from the University of Kentucky. His expertise in providing technical and medical knowledge launched a successful business in Ultrasound sales and services, spanning a career lasting from the late 1960s until his retirement in the early 2000s. He established his own company, “Rogers Ultrasound Imaging” in the early '80s. Winston was a pioneer on the cutting edge of diagnostic technology. The family would like to thank the staff of Bluegrass Care Navigators (Hospice) for the excellent care they provided Winston and his family during his final days. Arrangements were under the direction of Rogers Funeral Home with Father Charles Howell officiating at his service. Winston was proud of being a part of his family’s heritage at Rogers Funeral Home, the longest continuously family-owned and operated funeral business in the United States, established in 1802.
