Not sure what to say?

Warren played the guitar in high school. He taught me 4 chords on the ukulele and an Eberly brothers' song that we did together. He was a good friend.

A most congenial colleague who was truly dedicated to his students and the university. He liked to call his witty comments “perverbs”! I will always remember his infectious smile
