Judy and family,
I was so sorry to hear about Warren. He and I graduated from KHS `56 and later, my children worked for him at Franklins in Dallas while they were in high school.
Pin, as we called him, was always good for a few laughs! When my son was told about Warrens passing,
he assured me that Warren will be telling a few laughs in heaven.
Blessings to his family,
Bob Pugh
