Warren spent 39 years at Proctor and Gamble and thoroughly enjoyed his retirement since 1996. He and his family enjoyed the summers camping, and fished almost daily, catching more fish than any person could imagine. He proudly passed on his love and skill for fishing to his children and grandchildren. He also had a love for hunting and never missed a deer camp, hunting up until the age of 85. He enjoyed tying his own flies, woodworking, fixing things, prided in his garden, birdwatching and weekly cribbage games with his buddies. Most of all, he loved spending time with his family. He and Lois were passionate about bargain shopping and occasional trips to the casino.
Warren is survived by his wife of 51 years, Lois, and their children Terry (Rich) Williams, Kathy (Jamie) Holzer, Sandy (Christian) Titulaer, Angie (Kory) Lothe, and Steve (Karen) Deau.
