Warren Denning

Warren has been one of my closest friends ever since we met at East HS at age 15. I think a good way to describe him would be to say that he was a brilliant and talented guy who never slowed down. He was so full of energy and had numerous interests and hobbies. It seemed he was always into something new, and he always tackled those things full throttle. He was just simply a fun guy to be around, and I loved him deeply. Even though we lived miles apart for the last few years, I always knew...

RIP MY OLD FRIEND !!

I got to know Warren not only as a neighbor but as the husband to my girls´ piano teacher, Carol, until her death. I saw him recently and am saddened to read this morning he passed on my birthday. I will always remember he and Carol. Rest in peace Warren.

He lived a full life his way. He was always energetic and excited for new things. He took his health troubles in stride, and had a great attitude about it the past few years. I enjoyed reconnecting with him over the past decade or so, either in person, or just on the phone. He always shared entertaining and fascinating stories. I am looking forward to the celebration of life when that happens, and the potential to reconnect with family members that I havent seen in decades, and...

I worked as Warren's assistant from '82 to '94. It was an entertaining job! It was Gaffer's tape used on the sets, not duct tape. Gaffers removes easily not leaving residue. Condolences to his children and grandchildren.

Warren was THE PHOTOGRAPHER at IBAC and World Balloon Conventions. It was always great to see him each year. I worked closely with him, raising him up on a scissor lift to get a different angle that he could not get from the ground. RIP and take those special shots looking down on us.

I was so sorry when my friend Gary Herlocker let me know Warren passed away. We were '56 East High classmates. Warren treated everyone as though they were a best friend. Throughout all the years since high school my husband and I had some fun visits. I remember when he was living in Peabody and his photograph studio and I certainly remember The Foundry. In later years we would see Warren at Dillon's wearing his biker clothes and his white braid down his back. He always had fun stories...

Warren and John Simon were wonderful to hang around at The Foundry. Dare I say it, but several of us knew our IDs would work to get us in. We loved the vibe, the bluegrass music, Grand River Township, and riding bikes around town to put up posters for music acts coming to play. I still have my Grand River Township poster. It was eclectic, exciting, and the parties in the grand ole house along Broadway were filled with music and dancing after the bar shut down. Thank you Warren for providing a...

I remember Warren as someone who was one hundred percent honest as to how he felt about absolutely anything.
