REUEL E. WARRINER Jr.

WARRINER
REUEL E., JR.

Originally of Morristown NJ and Montrose PA, died peacefully in his Vero Beach FL home on February 28th, 2018, at the age of 79. He is survived by his daughter, Nathalie Warriner Herrman; his grandchildren, Sienna and Nick Turecamo, and his sister, Alma Warriner Wood.
Reuel was a graduate of St. Marks School in Southborough MA, and Yale University in New Haven CT. In his long and varied career, he served as a Naval Aviator, an engineer at Pratt and Whitney in Hartford CT, a Gentleman Farmer in Middleburg VA, where he bred and raced thoroughbreds, and established a large herd of beef cattle, an entrepreneur in Laguna Beach CA, and a truck driver for KLLM. After the death of his daughter, Anne Blair Warriner, in January of 1999, he purchased two Henley Sailboats, manned them single-handedly, and loved spending time on the ocean where he seemed to find comfort and peace.
In recent years, he has moved between his Vero Beach home and a farm that he has lovingly restored in Lexington VA, with much help from his grandson, Nick Turecamo. The two of them also shared a love for classic cars, and Reuel has several in the various stages of restoration, including two "muscle" cars, which he loved.
He was an avid gardener and a great cook. He loved to read, to interact playfully with whoever he encountered, and to spend time in the company of his family. He was a hard worker and a curious student of life; well-respected and well-loved. His presence and his unique way of viewing the world will be sorely missed.
A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, March 11, 2018, at 3 P.M., at the Chapel at STRUNK FUNERAL HOME in Vero Beach FL, with another service planned for May 16th in Lexington VA.
