Linda, I missed this passing this summer and just learned of it. I was the front desk secretary/receptionist at Joseph, Robison & Anderson back in the mid-'80s. I doubt you'd necessarily remember me, but I think I had met you a few times. I loved working for Warner when I was there. What a great person. I really adored his sense of humor and his humanity. My condolences on losing him. A loss to all of us. He actually reminded me a lot of my own father, and looked a little like him too. My Dad's still alive at 93, thank heaven. I wish I'd made it a point to visit Warner in the intervening years. Loved seeing him on TV in the mid-2000s; he did that so well. Wishing you the best, Linda. -Cass Bruton

I always looked forward to having coffee with Warner in the Courthouse Cafeteria. He taught others without actually making one feel they were being taught. He was one of my true friends for so many years. I did not see this until now and am so very sorry for his passing.

Linda, there's simply nothing I can say to ease Warner's passing. I so didn't want him to leave us, even though I know it was time. You and Warner will always hold such a special place in my heart and Warner will be dearly missed. Warner was everything that others have written about him here, a great attorney, a good person, with just the right amount of quirkiness to make him interesting and forever endearing. Holding you in my heart until I can hug you in person. Rhonda

Linda, I will spare you all the details, but suffice it to say I met Warner when I was 11 and my family was in crisis. He saw a fire within my soul and told me I ought to be a lawyer. I did just that. I asked him to sign my federal bar card for my admission to federal court. It seemed most appropriate. I will miss him terribly. He never missed a chance to share with folks his pride over me following his advice. My heart is with you during this difficult time.
