Russell Glen Warren

I knew Russell Warren as the president of Northeast Missouri State University, where I went to college. President Warren was extremely welcoming to the first-year class, and I have especially fond memories of him from our orientation. He was a good man.

DR. Warren taught a class, Economic Thought, at The School of Business, University of Richmond, in 1972. I was in that class, and I've carried in my heart the kind words he gave me, regarding a research paper I wrote, for the last 51 years. From what I am now reading here about his life, many people were apparently touched by his grace and dignity. thank you, Dr. Warren.

I was the administrative assistant to Russ while he was the Interim Provost at Notre Dame of Maryland University. We got along famously and he always made me smile. He gave me great career advice and sent me a beautiful Christmas card every year. Rest in peace old friend.

Over the years Russ has been a golf partner, frequent house guest, travel partner, and he even called me back from retirement to serve with him at Florida Southern College in 2009. We will always remember Russ for his infectious laugh, his...

We were very sorry to hear about the passing of Russ. Russ always had a smile on his face and an entertaining story to tell. He was always a class act and will certainly be missed. Sending our love and comfort to all.

As an undergraduate at UR from 1965 to 1969, my intention was to attend law school upon graduation. Russ Warren interrupted those plans and put me on a path that (to me) was far more rewarding and enjoyable. After taking his Principles of Economics class as a sophomore (and doing well in both micro and macro), he pulled me aside and encouraged me to major in Economics, which I did. Later on, he encouraged me to pass on law school and pursue the PhD in economics, which I did. It was, quite...

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
