Warren was a shining example of "how it works." His commitment to Hazelden's mission was directly responsible for helping others find the answer to their problem too. His legacy lives on the lives of fellow travelers he helped along the journey.

Barb - I will think of you and Warren as you were when we were last together (on my way to Wisconsin). In spite of his illness, Warren was gracious, engaging and happy, thanks to your good care. He loved to talk about Gettysburg and together we recaptured details of the historic battles much to the delight of us both. I'm thinking of you, we'll keep in touch. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

There wasn't a meeting or event that went by that he didn't give me a hug and kiss. He took me under his wings when I relapsed years ago. I helped him at Intergroup. He did not want me to be alone. What a man of God! I love him. My heart goes out to you, Barb, and anything you need, please reach out.
