Warren and I Served in the third platoon of C Company of the 410th Regiment of the 103rd Infantry Division in the United States, France, Germany and Austria. We were foxhole buddies, both carrying Browning automatic rifles. Warren, standing over six feet tall was the epitome of a brave US Infantry man. He faced and overcame many a dire and dangerous situation. He participated in over 150 days of combat. My wife and I met with Duff and Warren many times after the War

Duff and Warren were great neighbor's for many years. It was my privilege to work with Duff on the Jenkintown Day Nursery Board. She was very dedicated and both Duff and Warren supported the mission for many years. They were wonderful people.
