Not sure what to say?

TO THE FAMILY, I AM SINCERELY OVERWHELMED WITH SADNESS OVER THE LOSS OF YOUR SON, WARREN (AKA MY SHMOOPIE). I WANT TO EXTEND MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES TO YOU CHRIS AND GINA AND ANY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS THAT MOURN THIS SENSELESS LOSS. EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN A FEW MONTHS SINCE WE HAD TALKED, HE KNEW THAT I LOVED HIM AS ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS AND WOULD ALWAYS BE THERE IF HE EVER NEEDED ME. I FEEL HORRIBLE THAT I MISSED OUT ON WHAT HAS NOW SHOWN ME TO BE THE MOST PRECIOUS OF ALL, TIME. I WILL...

I just returned from Christmas vacation and belatedly received news of Warren's death. I got to know him over the last couple of years, advocating for Rhode Island's medical marijuana law. Words seem utterly inadequate to describe what a kind, decent, compassionate guy Warren Dolbashian was. He had a sweetness about him that seemed to radiate from some core deep within. He showed great courage in speaking out about his use of medical marijuana before Rhode Island made it legal for him to do...

I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER WARREN AS TAKING OUR PICTURES WITH EVERY KIND OF CAMERA HE HAD HE MADE US SMILE A LOT WE WILL MISS SEEING HIM BUT OUR HEARTS WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIM

To Warren and his Family,
You do not know me, but I had the pleasure of meeting Warren when I first came to Knightsville Manor. He was not the only one of the first I met, but also was so kind and always had a sense of humor that I will never forget. He never went by you without a big smile and handshake. Iam also very ill, such as Warren was, and its makes me proud to have know him for the past 5 years. He was symbolic in that he never let anything bother him, and always tried to make...

I met little Warren when he was a young boy and I always found him a very gentle boy, I am sorry we missed each other in Syracuse NY in May 2006, especially as he wanted to meet me,
Anyhow I know he had a great heart and I am very sad he passed knowing he will not be able to pay us a visit in New Jersey. Well Warren if you can see me now from where you are you'll know we are close.

Years have past
And Warren has lived
Courageously making life
A place to survive...

Warren always made us smile. He was a kind person who was always a pleasure to talk to, When my Mom passed away this past August Warren gave me a big hug and said he was sorry to hear about her passing. But that was Warren always thinking and caring for others.Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathies go out to Warren's family and friends. Just remember he will never truely be gone as long as we remember him. Sincerely, Bob Greaves and Melissa Musco

Warren was wonderfully sweet, selfless, and humble. Thanks in a large part to his brave voice, at least 189 other seriously ill patients are able to use medical marijuana without facing arrest. I am so lucky to have known him and very sad to hear of his passing.

To Warren's loved ones,

I, too, met Warren during the time that he was advocating for Rhode Island's medical marijuana law. I drove him to the State House several times, and each time, he never failed to make me smile.

Warren was courageous, witty, and had a heart much too big for this world. His optimism inspires me to this day. I was lucky to have known him.

Warren was a courageous and effective advocate for the passage of medical marijuana legislation that continues to help so many Rhode Islanders. Warren will be missed, but his legacy lives on in the compassionate legislation that he helped to enact.
