To Warrens Family
Still pluging away on my Family Tree and found Warren's obituary at this site
Never had the pleasure to meet him, but have worked with Wayne for years. Also have talked with Shirley and met her once at her home. Warren was a cousin to me through his mother. Lulu was Moms first cousin.Our grandmothers were sisters. I have bits of family data and would love to have more on your family if anyone feels like sharing with me. Sorry for your loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his entire family. We love you all and we most definitely loved him. What a testament to how great he was that at his service it was standing room only. He is singing in heaven - He got his mansion. We will miss him greatly and we are here for you if you need us. Our deepest sympathy to you all. Love, Sherri and Jennifer Riegel and Joyce and Lori Green

We always looked forward to Uncle Warren coming to Maine. Each time was always capped off with a visit to Wing Wah where he would always order way too much food. He and Wayne would always make a few trips to Mattawamkeag and would talk constantly about the "old day". He will be sadly missed by our family. Love, Wayne and Bonnie, Kari, Katie and Joshua

Dear Vance Family,
I send my thoughts, prayers and sympathies to you all. I didn't know Warren really, but I did go to school with Tammy and Mike and knew them well. My mom Grace Ott remembers bowling with Warren and Sharon many years ago, I think she said they were team mates and how her and dad (John Ott) enjoyed thier company. I was originally planning on attending the services for Warren, but I regret that I am out of town and cannot make it. I know this is a difficult time for you all, especially with Thanksgiving day so close by, but think of what he would want for you all. Spend Thanksgiving day sharing stories with each other about him and the family. You will laugh and cry and wish he was there, but this'll help when you are missing him.
All my love
Janice Ott-Kruse

Warren was always happy and cheerful at all of the events and family gatherings that I saw him at, he always treated you with respect and kindness, He also showed how much he cared about his wife, children and grandchildren and we could all see how very loving and giving he was, you will be missed but not forgotten.

To Vicky and the entire Family, Please know that you all are in my prayers and thoughts. I didn't know Warren personally, but I worked with Vicky at Coldwell Banker and wanted to express my thoughts and sympathy. With God and time, you all will get through this. Vicky, take care and know that I'm thinking of you.

I don't know how this happened, but I never had the pleasure of knowing your dad. But if he raised you, he must have been a good man and father, because you are one of the most loving, kind and generous person I know.

Tammy my heart goes out to you, if I could bear your pain for you, I would. I love you my friend. When you can't be strong anymore, I have a really big shoulder.

Sharon....Back in the early eighties,when I first moved to the area, you and Warren were one of the first couples I ever had the pleasure to meet either at the bowling alley or at the Elks. I have never seen a couple more in love with each other, you glowed when you were together. I will miss his singing his Irish songs at St Patricks Day, I will miss him.

To the Warren Family: It was an honor and a pleasure to have know you. It was a deeper honor to have cooked your wedding dinner when you renewed your wedding vows with Sharron. Rest in peace.

We have lost a wonderful friend. Words cannot express the sorrow we feel for you! I can hear Warren sing such beautiful angelic words:
"And He walks with me and he talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own:
And the love we share as we tarry there,
No other has ever known.."
Warren has touched so many lives and we are blessed to have been able to have been a part of his life. My dad said" Warren your "Lemon Drop" will see you again.. God Bless You All! We Love You!

To Warren's Family: Warren was a good friend to us years ago. His expertise and advice on real estate matters was extremely valuable to us. More than that, he always was a joy to be with. We are better people for having known Warren Vance.
