I am so sorry for your loss and what is actually all of our loss. I am in the business equipment finance business and have known Warren for 20+ years. I always enjoyed when he would just drop in the office to see what I was working on. We liked him so much we gave him the exclusive on government financing in this market. All referrals went to him. I'm going to miss our conversations and time spent at the conferences together. Take your rest Warren you've earned it.

Sorry for your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" strengthen your family during this difficult time (Isaiah 61:1,2)

We will miss Warren as an interesting neighbor down the street from our home. Warren would often be sitting on a lawn chair in his driveway late afternoons visiting with any one of us walking the neighborhood. He and I, years ago when we were more able had talked of a hike east over the ridge to the abandoned mines up the canyon on the other side. That was not to be as Warren's heart became weak.
May God bless and comfort the family as they grieve.
