Uncle Warren,
Thank you so much for your kind and understanding and and great laugh. I will cherish and miss that the most. You were an awesome uncle to me after my dad passed. You held family honor a priority . I am so glad we spoke recently, sorry, we never got to do the things that you wanted to do with family. Maybe it will still happen. I am sad you won't be there. You are now with your brother Blaine and other family members. I will miss you! Lisa (Eafrate) Winkhart . This is a very sad day for many unspoken reasons. Rest in peace Uncle Warren.

Fred, Steve & Guy, it took me a while to collect my thoughts about your Dad and Brother. First my sincerest condolences to you all.I will always remember Warren as a great personality and very caring person to me especially as a kid growing up. He always seemed to be looking out for all us kids, taking care of us - helping us when he could with anything we needed.He was a great mentor to all us kids and always took an interest in what were doing and how we were getting along. Heck, he got me my first job!! For everything he did for me growing up I will always be grateful. Even though I did not get to see him much in the later years I will always remember the good times and the kind words he always had for me and my family.
I can proudly say that it was a great pleasure to have known Warren. More importantly though, he will always be remembered by me and all who knew him as we did as a great friend to us all. God Bless.

Guy, Fred, Cyndie, and Family,
We wish to extend our deepest sympathy to each of you in the loss of both your loving brother and father. I always enjoyed Warren's presence when he helped Dick Baxter coach the American Legion Post #44, Pub Club, and Bush Beer Championship Fumbleball teams of the '70's and '80's.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you now during this difficult time. May God comfort you with his peace.
