My staff and I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the entire McCue family. Walter was a very engaging man and a true gentleman who devoted the majority of his life to service. I personally always enjoyed our visits with his furry family. Find some comfort in knowing that so many others care.

Our family was saddened to learn of Warren's death. We moved to Venice in 1990 and purchased a home next to the McCue family. From 1990 till 2004 when we moved we had some wonderful and fun times with all the McCue family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Warren. He was a great guy. My husband Gary went to the mower shop just to hang out because there was always somebody there from NYC and cops. Rest in Peace Warren.
