Our thoughts and prayers are with you in the loss of your father. God Bless. I met & worked with Warren in 1981 at Small Oil Co. In the short time I work with him, he shared knowledge of the heating trade as well his story's of his life. We had coffee every afternoon at the restaurant during our short afternoon break. He will be remembered. God Bless
