Stephen Warner Obituary
He was a professor of American Literature at SUNY Fredonia for 35 years where he was well-loved for his wit and caring. He was a member of the Newon Street Irregulars, a folk quartet, where he played concertina and banjo. He was a recipient of three Fulbright teaching scholarships : Romania, Berlin, Lithuania.
Mr. Warner came to Amherst in July 2006 to be with his partner, Sharon Carty, where he became famous for his apple pies and dancing in the aisles of Home Depot with Sharon.
He is survived by his former wife, Linda Warner, with whom he shared his early adventures, his children, Christopher Warner of Forestville, N.Y., Michael Warner of San Francisco, CA and Sarah Warner of Boulder, CO., and his grandchildren, Sophie, Felix, Henry and Charlton.
Please honor him in your thoughts.

I had the privelege of meeting Stephen and working with him towards the end of his life my only regret was that i had only knew him for a short period of time. He was despite his condition a wonderful conversationalist and an uolifting spirit. From teaching him how to play the harmonica to baking him apple pies and making dinners it was so much fun being around him.
