Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Dear Warnock Family, Sending my condolences for the loss of your dear Robert. I somehow missed his obituary in the newspaper and was unaware of his passing until last night when I stopped in at Highland Care Center to visit with him. Lew and Bob can now resume their morning coffee gathering. God bless all.

Dr. Warnock was a great help to me since I majored in Biology. He was my advisor and always answered any questions I had. I came from The Gambia, West Africa, and as a foreign student, I was always seeking guidance. May his soul rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with all the Warnock family.

Dr. Warnock was a mentor, supporter and guide to me as biology major 1968. He was always there for me, as foreign student. Helped me with homework whenever I needed it. GREAT MAN.
My condolences to Mike and Linda. My prayers are with you and your families.

My husband and I were fortunate to have traveled to Africa with Bob and Joan. We greatly enjoyed their company, and learned so much from Bob. Among much I learned about Africa and its animals, Bob shared his appreciation for birds - this interest has stayed with me, much to my pleasure.
I send my sympathy to Bob's family on the loss of this special man.

Bob was always very kind, to new and old faculty alike. I remember running into him up Millcreek Canyon cross-country skiing. He was an inspiration to us all; always had a kind word for everyone. I hope that when I am 70+, that I am skiing. My sincere condolences.

What a great man with a great wit, we have lost. He always made me smile when I visited him. I'll miss our Monk and pizza nights. Linda and Laney, you were there for him which I know he really appreciated. I'm glad he was able to have his 90th birthday bash. I hope all the love and memories you have for your dad will help you heal. You and your families are in my prayers. Love, Karen

Bob was legendary when I started teaching at Westminster in 1977. He was kind and helpful to the new professors. In those years we worked hard and and loved it. Bob, Barry Quinn, Jay Lees, Tom Steinke, Pat Coleman, Don Doxey,Janet Booth, Steve Baar-- all were inspirational and what a partying crew! I owe my sense of purpose and community to them.I send my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Linda, thinking of you and your family at this time. Love to you all
