What a wonderful man Warren Autin was! He was like a dear relative whom we didn´t call unless we had an appliance that wasn´t working - and then were delighted to have a reason to call Warren. He was always pleasant and could fix almost anything. If he couldn´t fix it, he told you so. Several of my friends and we had the pleasure of knowing and being grateful for Warren for over 50 years. I don´t know what I would have done without him. When I last called him a year or so ago, after he had told me a year earlier that that he was too old to fix appliances, it was for directions on how to get broken glass out of my garbage disposal. You can imagine his comments when he heard my question! We are devastated to learn of his passing. He was a kind, thoughtful and generous person. The world needs more Warren Autin´s. I´m sure he´s in heaven fixing whatever is broken there. Thanks, my dear friend, we already miss you. May you rest in peace with the angels. We will pray for you. Our condolences to his family. Blessings, Sharon and Mark Rodi.
