To Candida, James, Roberta and families,

I was sorry to hear of the passing of your father. I was confirmed by your father along with Candida and others at the Burnham Lutheran Church. Your dad and my father (Paul E Treaster Sr,) did write to each other at times, after your dad left Burnham.

Isn't it wonderful that when our Lord calls our loved ones home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange.

Sincerely,

Mary Ruth (Treaster) Pusep
now of Sydney, Australia

James,Candida,Roberta,Scott and Family members.
So sorry for your loss of your Father,Grandfatherand Greatgrandfather Rev. Warner. He was my pastor at St. Pauls Lutheran in Burnham. I was 3 when we came to the church and my family left a short time after I think I was 10. I do however remember the feeing of being in a good congergation while Rev. Warner and his family was there. I may not be able to remember much about his sermons but the social events where fun and sunday school and the choir I took part in. My father Paul E. Treaster Sr. passed on April 16 2013 at 95 and kepted in touch with your father till short of my his passing. He thought their wasn't a dissenter man behind the cloth of the church. They had somewhat of a common ground when it came to family issues. I guess you could say that is what kepted them in contact with each other. Since I could not get to Rev. Warners services. I would like to extend my deepest sympathy from me Paula Ross and my deceased Father's wishes Paul E. Treaster Sr. to honor a man we both where glad to of known in our lives.

I was very blessed to know this man I called Dad for 49 yrs and even in the last few months of his life we would email each other and I will miss him terribly. He was a good Father, Grandfather and great grandfather and Dad was always there for his family, no matter what we were going thru in life. Love, Leslie

Mr. Warner could always put a smile on my face and though It's not proper to say, he has been my favorite resident to date. I learned many valuable lessons with our late night talks. Very sorry for the loss of such an amazing human being, whom will be dearly missed!

Always a smile and a kind hello. He genuinely made everyone feel comfortable in his presence. I am glad to have been one of the lucky ones to have been touched by knowing him. My deepest sympathies go out to my good friend Bert and her family. May he and God smile down on you always.

Dear Family of Pastor Warner, We are so grateful for the blessings your dad gave our family many times as he loaned the parsonage in 1988 when our house burnt down. He remained a special person in our lives as he continued to share in some music programs & card. Our deepest sympathy to you as he takes his place in heaven he so deserves. Sincerely, Ed Fadely family
