My Dad was a very caring man. I hope that all the thoughts left here are seen by him. To show what great friends, neighbors and family he had.

Warren was the Chairman of Hospitality for the Greater Boston Dowsers for many years and was an integral part of our chapter. He always welcomed newcomers to our meetings and was a fantastic water dowser. When we had potluck meals he would bring Sylvia's famous baked beans or Macaraoni and Cheese (also known as Mokey-ka-pokey named by one of his granddaughters). We will miss "Coffeeman" and his warmth, love, kindness and ever present willingness to help in any situation. Those of us who studied with you know that you're looking out for us with your beloved Mother at your side.
With love and admiration for a great person,
Susan McNeill Spuhler
President, Greater Boston Dowsers

I took a class with Warren the winter before last and was going to call him about taking another. God rest his gracious, kind soul. I'll miss him.

To the entire Michealsen family, our deepest sympathy goes out to you. I know Warren will be greatly missed. As a former Dow Ave. neighbor, Steve has many fond memories and great stories of Warren. As Steve's wife, I once learned something very interesting...I was talking to Warren at Donald Sullivan's wake, and I found out that Warren and my dad not only served in the Navy during WWII, but served ON THE SAME SHIP at the same time! How wild is that? Though they didn't know each other on the ship, as they served on different decks, they found they had much in common and I'm sure that they too, as with Donald Sullivan, are sharing many stories in heaven!

Peace be with you,
Steve, Denise, Michelle, and Nicole Sullivan

A very special man has been taken away from us. We will miss him greatly. I'm sure my Dad greeted him up in heaven and they are enjoying long conversations once again. The family is in our thoughts and prayers. Love Margaret, Ruth and Dante Sullivan
