Condolences to Warren's family on losing him! His mother Catherine Whitt Emory is my cousin and when I visited her at Forks of Ivy she always spoke of Warren and how much she loved him! Prayers for God's blessing on the family!

I was so sorry to hear of Warren's passing. I always looked when I went by, to see if he was sitting on his porch. It was so nice to have him wave. I will definitely miss this! Prayers for the family.

I've only known Warren 5 years, but he was a gentle soul, sitting on his porch waving at everyone that passed by,with his huge smile inviting you to come & sit awhile. Warren was a huge part of our community & was loved by everyone! Thoughts & prayers to family & friends, Warren will truly be missed.
