J. Michael Warring

1941 - 2025

I thank Joe Warring for marrying Teresa Maulding; and them becoming my parents in 1941. I thank them for my siblings: sister Sugie Warring and brother Jimmy (Linda) Warring. I thank Sugie for always sharing with me, and I thank Jimmy for being the best drummer in our band "The Good Times." I, of course, was the lead singer and accordion player.

I thank my Brother Rats and instructors who helped me survive and thrive in the military environment of VMI for the four years I attended there, and then served in the US Army.

I thank Camille Codirenzi, who became my wife and the mother of our three children: Joseph (Kelly) Warring, Stephanie (Pete) Wilson and Michael Warring. Though I never told them enough, they were the best part of all that I ever accomplished.

I thank my seven grandchildren: Madeline, John, Grace, Caroline, Sammi, Peter and Abby for the fun times we had at birthday celebrations, cookouts and visits. And I thank Maddy (7) and Grace (3) for the extra gift of Great Grandchildren!

I thank my second wife Elinor Whaley for introducing me to living on the Eastern Shore. From our cottage in Centreville to our home on Greenwood Creek and then our home in Queenstown she was always the one who took care of the lawn, so I could play golf without a worry in the world.

It's been a terrific journey, filled with all sorts of adventures, highs and lows, laughs and tears, heartbreak and love. And through it all My Catholic faith has sustained me. For the complete obituary please visit www.fhnfuneralhome.com

As I depart this earthly realm I just have one question: "can I have a mulligan?".

Services will be private and a gathering will be held at a later date.
