Warren was a kind and generous man who loved his family very much. His devotion to his beloved wife was "awesome." I remember once when she was working away from home and the weather was just horrific, he traveled with his dogs to spend their anniversary together. He was a gentleman with always a kind word, a gentle soul who will be missed greatly by all who knew him.
