I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Warnock many years ago when I attended Mt. Carmel school with his daughter Wendy. I remember him as a real character. Always joking with us and making sure we were staying out of trouble. it has been a long time since I last seen him but the memoires are very close to my heart. My thought and prayers go out to the family. You are all in my prayers.
