Warren Liddell Burgess

My father was the greatest man I ever knew. He was so sincere, caring and showed compassion for every person he met. My dad died a few days afer Mother's Day.He called me on the Sunday before & expressed how proud he was of me being such a great mother. He also expressed how much he wanted to take his 2 grandchildren out for lunch when he would be discharged from the hospital. I will never forget his love for his family and friends.

I first met Warren in 1975. I was fresh out of college, starting my first job, and away from home. It was my good fortune to start in Charlotte with Hensley Schmidt, joining Bill Finger and Warren.

I was in Graduate School when Warren was an undergraduate in Environmental Design. He was a well-respected member of the profession and I got to talk with him a few times over the past several years. Our prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time. He was loved by all who knew him. God Bless you.

A friend for almost 30 years, Warren was one of the kindest souls I have ever known. He was a teacher, a visionary, and a scholar. He will be missed greatly by all of us, even those that never had the pleasure of meeting him. May we keep his vision alive in the development in and around the charlotte area.

What a talented and great guy. He helped so much with the Dilworth Preservation effort and was an invaluable resource for Charlotte. He also was a wonderful artist and did a beautiful rendering of our stone house at 700 Mt Vernon Ave (now sold). We will treasure it and our memories of Warren forever.

May God be with you in the loss of your loved one. May Comfort, Peace and Hope be yours in this time of sadness. In loving memory of Warren, who shared with passion, his gifts and talents to improve the quality of life for everyone.
With deepest sympathy,
