Miss him so much! Especially his "Pinkyisms" as I call them ( e.g. "tube steaks" were hot dogs; "go aheads" were flip flops.

Dolores,
I just found out today about Warren's passing when Norm visited with Nancy. Warren was and will always be a phenomenal man respected and loved by many. I'm sorry I did not know sooner because I would have joined in the celebration of his life.
