I worked with Warren at the Stockton District Claims Office when I began working as a Multiline Field Adjuster with CalFarm Insurance in1978. Warren was always helpful, helped me learn the ropes of being a good adjuster. I remember to this day my first Christmas Lunch with Warren, Harvey Cannon, Jerry Bunch, Jerry Wathen, Fred Denhart, Lou Dickey at Al the Whops in the Locke. The best times I have had working with co workers at a Company. Rest In Peace Friend, you are back with Bonnie in Paradise.

We were saddened to learn of the passing of our Uncle Warren. He was a loving, intelligent, larger-than-life, kid-friendly and deeply funny man. We will miss his crinkly eyes, his great laugh and the biggest bear hugs a human can bestow. And we extend our deepest sympathies to his children and grandchildren, and hope that your many fond memories will bring you peace. We are having 10 redwood trees planted in his honor in California, because one just doesn't seem enough for such a beloved person.
With Love,
Jeff, Jeanne, Jack, Julie and families
