This is the hardest condolence note that I have ever written. What a special man and great friend you were Warren. I'm going to miss you so much Boss. No more trips to Vegas, no casinos here, no more Sunday brunches. I will always treasure what you have taught me to always see the good in people.
Your life was too short here on earth but in that short time you touched many people's lives.
Smoke em'if you've got em'
Bye Boss##imported-begin##Lorraine Ahrendsen##imported-end##
Warren, I remember meeting you in 1974 when I went to work for the Health Department. You and Walt Huber were the team in social services. I was immediately impressed by your ability to launch into mini lectures about the issues facing our clients or the world in general. I know you touched so many lives...mine was just one of them. Walt will also miss you and everything you did to carry on the services that the two of you worked so hard to create. He is in Ireland and not able to write this in person but I know he would have wanted to share his thoughts and feelings about all you that meant to him. You will be missed by all of us.##imported-begin##Jerry Anderson##imported-end##

Over the past few days I have came to realize that there is so much that I did not know about my uncle, but looking back at the pictures and hearing the stories about his life it seems very clear to me that he was happiest when he was with his family. Marc and Krissy I am so sorry for your loss. Warren touched so many people’s lives and the world is a better place because he was in it. We are all deeply saddened that he was taken from us so suddenly, yet he will live on in our hearts and minds forever.##imported-begin##Tara Fanshier##imported-end##
Warren,
We knew each other for such a short time but immediately found that we were kindred spirits. I will dearly miss our lunch dates and your understanding heart. Thank you for all you shared with me during our last lunch together at the Pine Street Cafe- where we could smoke! At the end of that lucnh, I knew you so well and you knew that I understood. Thank you for your service in Viet Nam. You were the best sponsor I could ask for in my quest to quit smoking- do you think that I will be able to find anyone other than you willing to "chain me to a tree" for a week on their property to quit smoking? And, bring me juice?
I will miss you Warren and will not forget you.
Love Your Bud, Sandy##imported-begin##Sandy Burns##imported-end##
You touched too many hearts professionally and as a friend to ever be forgotten.##imported-begin##Daphne Smith##imported-end##
We were with you when you came into this word and we were with you when you left us. You made us proud to be your parents, we will never get over the loss of you here on earth with us. Your loving parents, Mom & Day##imported-begin##Mom & Dad##imported-end##
I have been going through picture after picture after picture all weekend and the only thing I know is that there is so much i didnt know about my uncle. For me he was always just the cynical one in the corner complaining about something (and I say that in the most loving way possible) I knew very little about his work, but I was made well aware of what days the Goodwill would sell clothing by the pound. I didn't realize that so many peoples lives are better today because of the crabby man in the corner.
I have seen all these pictures of smiles and just down right goofy stuff and it's then that I get sad. When it becomes painfully clear that we lost a beautiful human being last thursday. I had no idea the amount of life and love and happiness we all felt just because he was here, but I am becoming aware of the hole that is left behind.
If i had to pick one memory of Warren that stands out for me it would be without a doubt a few thanksgivings ago at the beach when i received an hour long lecture in the garage of all places about the atkins diet. Warren was not a fan to say the least. He made it very clear to me that there was no good in this diet, and graphic, boy was he graphic about it. What is so funny is that I am sure Warren himself doesnt even know that not 3 months later where was I? The emergency room with just one of these incredibly graphic illness' he had spoken of. I do wish I had the opportunity to tell him he had been right. From that moment on I did always make sure that when he was around there were carbs on my plate. He always made an impact that is for sure.
There are so many things I could say but I will stop with this, Kris, Marc, You two are all I can think about right now. I have no frame of reference for what you must be feeling. Please, if you need anything at all, I can't make it go away I don't even know if I can help, but I can try.##imported-begin##Angela Bennett##imported-end##
Warren was a supervisor for me and helped me learn some of the skills that came natural for him. he will be missed by all.
