It brings me deep sadness to hear of Warren's passing away, far too early.
I have known Warren professionally for probably the best of 20 years and had great respect for him, both professionally, but not in the least as a person.
You will be missed dearly by so many, my friend.
My most sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

Michelle -
Warren touched the lives of so many here in Northwest Indiana. He was just here in the fall doing a presentation and so many of us wanted him back to learn more.
Our deepest condolences to you and your family.

I was shocked to hear of Warren's passing. I've known him for about 10 years through work. I have fond memories of our interactions which were mostly phone calls from him just staying in touch. I always enjoyed hearing his stories from his past experience, reading his blog posts and most recently reading his book. While this stings, I revel in the positive legacy he leaves.

Dear Michelle and family, yesterday I was shocked at the news of Warren's passing. I've known Warren professionally for over 20 years and worked with him on numerous projects related to specifications and coatings projects. He was a disciplined man, down to earth, humble, intelligent, and a friend. May God grant you His peace and hope during this time of sorrow.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Warren's passing. Warren was one of the most decent and honest people that I have ever met, and I always enjoyed working with him. As a professional, he was a gifted technical consultant and highly skilled writer/author. I am thankful that I was able to know Warren as a friend and to work together on various corrosion/coating projects. Warren will be missed! My condolences to his family and friends for their loss.
