My belated sympathy to the Warren Witherell family for their loss. And for the loss of one of the greatest world water skiers of all times. I 1st
met Warren during a national water ski tournament in the late 1950s. At that time he skied on a Northland concave that he designed himself, and, also the same design that Billy Spencer used to become unbeatable, such as the great Warren. As my friend, he offered me tournament advice that helped me later in my tournament career. I will...

Warren was truly a multi-dimensional guy. When I was a 16-year-old budding photographer, he took particular interest in my work, even though it had nothing to do with sports. He was a talented writer in addition to a notable athlete & coach—the first real renaissance man I ever knew.

Just found out about Warren condolences to all

Warren was a fantastic ski coach and much looked up to mentor in my youthful years in Lake Placid. I'll always be grateful for his leadership and his counsel. He will always have a special place in my memories.

I first met Warren when I attended Northwood School - best teacher I ever had. When I heard of his passing, and spread the word to other Northwood friends, I only had to say "Warren passed away". They knew right away who I was talking about. No last name needed, and that, in itself, is a pretty good tribute. My life is richer for having met him.

Charley and family,
Many great Northwood memories with W2 on the "Super bus" for those old enough to remember.
One of the best
RIP W2

Lots of great memories of Warren competing in water skiing at Lex Carroll's pond in Oakham, MA and the many other sites throughout New England... especially cool when he could arrive in his Lake amphibian.

My sincere condolences to Holly and Heidi on the loss of your father. He had a very positive impact on so many people and he will be remembered well by them all.
