Not sure what to say?

I attended Doherty and Mr. Nelson was extremely patient with this student (me) who struggled with math. Some of it even made sense! I'm sorry for your loss.

Warner and I carpooled to Russell Middle School together back in the 1970's. I remember us hitting a patch of black ice on Fillmore Hill in his old Toyota Land Cruiser and doing a complete 360 degree spin, coming out of it rolling downhill like it never happened and looking at each other in horror and amazement. We marched through the 1975 teachers' strike together and shared a lot of great stories at the Star Bar. He enjoyed life and was someone you could always count on. He will be missed.

The famous beach trip with Eric Finstrom

Here's to the square root of two! Warner will be missed and remembered every time the lights flicker on and off or a home made pizza comes out of the oven. Your friend. Dave finstrom
