My dad taught me patience, integrity, and Faith. He was the perfect role model as a father, and I've tried my best to emulate him in bringing up my own kids. Thank you all, on behalf of our family, for your thoughtful comments, prayers, phone calls, and cards.
God bless.

We send our deepest sympathy to you Bill and Jim. Your parents were always counted as our friends. Your dad and Neal enjoyed lots of laughs and tales shared. We're surprised every day that it isn't our names in some obituary. Certainly your dad was very proud of both of you. We are praying the Lord will comfort your families in this loss of your dad.

Warren was a wonderful man. He produced two very talented sons who will carry on his legacy. He will be missed but he is enjoying his great reward along side of Louise. We will miss these courageous members of the 'Greatest Generation'.
