At a time like this, I can offer little except my profound,sincere wish for your comfort. On behalf of the Warners in Chicago, Paula and Alexandria, we wish you nothing but the best. Teddy was a remarkable person with an incredible persona. His subtle phone calls over the years personnifies How real is faith. How is faith related to hope. How does expectancy lead to proof. How much must we see in order to believe and how does belief become trust. From this point on, I have great confidence you guys will bear the torch of a great husband,father, grandfather and cousin.

Dear Mrs. Warner and family,

I am just learning of the passing of your beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.

I have known Dr. Warner since his days as an undergraduate student at Howard University (when I worked in the Moorland-Spinarn Research Center in the Howard University Library) and have faithfully followed his career. We were professional and social friends. I will never forget his cheerfulness and his goodness. He always made me smile. He will be missed.

Be assured that you and your family are in my prayers.

Dear Warner Family,

To be absent from the body and die in Christ is gain,

find comfort in God's Holy word and he will ease all of your pain.



Dr. Warner's work on earth has ended, yet a new life is just begun,

He heard the Savior calling at the setting of the sun.

He sent a message upward, past yon vaulted dome, Angels... get my mansion ready, I am coming home.



You will see your loved one again, if you hold fast to our Sovereign Savior.



Patient of Dr. Warner,Jr.

I met Dr. Warner when my son was shot. He assured me that he would do all he could to save his life. His positive attitude and his advise for me to "look to God and everything will be okay" gave me the confidence I needed to sustain this horror.



Dr. Warner is resting now. He has completed his duty on earth and he is with his master.



My family will never forget you.

My sincerest condolensces to the Warner family. I feel very fortunate to have been trained by Dr. Warner at HUH. The vast knowledge he imparted to us, and the enthusiam with which he imparted it, was AND is unparalleled. I thought of Dr. Warner as a permanent iconic "fixture" at HUH that future residents would benefit from as I did. But, God is in total control and I am humbly grateful that I was able to be a small part of Dr. Warner's legacy.

You are indeed a star, one that will continue to shine brightly. As one of your students, I admired your enthusiasm and passion for learning and your love and concern for your paients and students.

To the entire Warner Family,

I had the pleasure and privilege to know Dr. Teddy Warner. He has positively affected the lives of many people. We are now linked, as a community in our sorrow over his lost.

Dr. Warner was my instructor and teacher. I was a medical student at the Howard University College of Medicine from 1973 through 1977. I returned as a fellow in surgical oncology in 1982 and was also an attending in general surgery for several years. Dr. Warner was an inspiration to me and helped to propel me forward in my surgical career. He gave me confidence in myself because he trusted me. He taught in a kind and patient way, never pushy or demeaning but always maintaining the highest standards. He had a great sense of humor.

I haven't seen Dr. Warner for years now but he still stands out as one of the great influences in my life. I have always felt a certain security and comfort knowing that he and others whom I love were still there, at Howard University Medical Complex, the mother who nurtured me. Dr. Warner's spirit will be long cherished in the world.

Please take comfort in the fact that you are surrounded by a community that feels your lost and who sends prayers of support and healing to you all.

Dear Dr. Warner,

I didn't really get the chance to be one of your students (make rounds and all that jazz), but I did have the chance to be one of your patients. You were a part of the team that saved my life. For that, and for that phone call that you made, my family and I will always be grateful. May you rest in peace, knowing that you are loved and you did God's precious work.



Always,

I can still hear Dr. Warner's lovely singsong accent. What a loss for Howard. In addition to being a fine surgeon and an excellent instructor, he was always quick with a pleasant smile or kind word. He will truly be missed. Chris, O.G., know that I'm sending up lots of love and prayers for you and your family.

The LORD said to Abram, 'Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you...and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.' Genesis 12:1-3 NIV. Dr. Warner taught me how to "rise to the occasion". The memory he leaves behind will last forever. This man could deliver an extemporaneous scientific presentation with literature quotations like no other. We will miss him, and at the same time carry on his legacy of service with passion.

Carl Johnson, II, MD

A profound loss of a cherished friend and spiritual brother dating back to Calabar High School, where we studied together and pursued track and field athletics. We maintained contacts throuh the years and I shall never be able to adequately express my deep gratitude for his wise counsel and enormous propensity for offering assistance wherever possible. My deepest regrets to the entire Warner family, but may the memory of his exemplary life be a lasting support throughout this period of sadness and in years to come.

To the Entire Warner family: Dr. Warner was one of my teachers at Howard during my residency there in Surgery 1994-1999. I would like to say that he was certainly an advocate for us, an inspiration in his work ethic and so tireless. There are some people that you envision living for ever, and Dr. Warner was one of those people. I can say this -he loved his family so! He talked about all of you all the time. He is at peace with our Lord and saviour, and we will miss him dearly. We are all blessed to have had him guide us.

To the Warner Family:

During my many years at Howard University Hospital, I could always count on the fact that Dr. Warner's caring attitude would permeate everything he was involved in: from patient care to the education of countless medical students and residents.

He took a personal interest in every resident and always made time for us.

I am sure I cannot imagine how diffucult his passing has been for the family, but as far as his Howard University Department of Surgery "Family", we too feel a profound sense of loss. Please accept my sorrow and know that he touched many lives--both patients as well as the hospital staff.

Thank you for allowing him to spend so many hours away from your family in the name of caring for patients and educating future physicians.

Sincerely,

Sherilyn A. Gordon, M.D.

Teddy was a gift to all of us. He was like the glue that keeps people together, and no matter how we neglected to stay in touch, every phone conversation with him was as if we spoke yesterday. It is comforting to know he is resting in the arms of the Almighty, having been called to a higher purpose. We will continue to keep you in our prayers and thoughts at this time.

Will be missed by Rosie, Richard and Anya

Merelene (Joy) Warner

April 27, 2006

To Barbara and the entire clan:

After the grief is over, each day will be a celebration of Teddy's life. A more warm and caring human being I have not yet met. No matter how busy he was, he always took time to keep in touch with other family members and give encouragement and support. I have met people who do not know me, yet because of my surname have asked me if I am related to Teddy, and told me of his mentorship while they were students at the University. For me, a phone call when it was least expected, with just a word of support, hallmarked Teddy's love and concern, and his attention when my own father faced his crises will always be lovingly remembered. On behalf of Merl and Wilfred, our prayers and thoughts are with you all at this time. Stay strong.

Orville Green

April 26, 2006

Barbara, O.G., Faith-Ann, Chris and Charles: While it's been a long time since we've been in direct contact, it's never been "out of sight, out of mind" for me and my family. From my days at Calabar, when he was my "big boy" protector; through my early days in DC, when your home was my occasional refuge; to later years, when he would call unexpectedly just to say "Hi," Teddy has always been a tremendous source of inspiration for me. May your knowledge of the love that he has shown to so many, and that has been reciprocated in the love, respect and regard of so many others, help to ease your pain at this time. (Rest in peace, dear cousin.)

Winston Green

April 26, 2006

To Barbara and the rest of the family, I can only imagine how this tragedy has impacted your life. At times like these words are not adequate to express the sorrow and to soothe the pain.

Teddy was a warm and loving person, compassionate and caring and this along with all his other qualities he possessed will only make the loss greater.

Why these things happen we will never know, we have been pondering it since the beginning of time with no answers.

May the good Lord we serve, give you all the strength and courage you will need to get through this difficult time.



Love always,

Winston A. Green

Uncle Teddy, I am so thankful for I have been blessed to have such great people in my life! The Warners have always been known as a wonderful, caring stock & I have been very fortunate to have such great uncles & cousins who genuinely care about others. You have never done anything to tarnish that label uncle Teddy, you had accomplished so much in life through hard work & discipline, and you had gotten yourself to the point where you could make a difference in so many peoples lives, in particularly saving lives. You have been so blessed for the great works you have done, but more importantly for maintaining your faith & belief in God who inspires all the great things we can accomplish in life! You have always told me how important God is to us & how going to church is something you believe in greatly... You never took your success for granted, you continued to stay grounded & kept relying on the great Lord for spiritual guidance. It's very easy for us to abandon our leader who gives us the ability to do great things, especially if we're doing well, but you never slacked off when it came to your commitment to the main source who took you to that next level. I always wish I had your faith & discipline to accomplish just about anything & that I had relied more on God for his leadership. I am sorry I never got to the point you expected of me, for you always said I had great potential, but I am glad that the last memory you had of me was that I found somebody to possibly make a life with & that I was finally able to move away from home in trying to make a life for myself. I'm sure you were proud when you heard that I had made that major step which was well overdue! I recall when I was living in North Carolina, I called you the next day after Uncle Horace told me that you had some kind of surgery, I was so happy to speak to you & to finally share my progress with you, but even though I never knew to the extent of your illness, I could sense that something wasn't quite right. Still, it was great to hear your voice & to make you feel as if your struggling nephew was finally making some strides. You were always very loving, caring, thoughtful & giving... To now come to the realization that all that time you were sick, yet just before we spoke you were still thinking about me, even suggesting that you would send me some money to hold me over until I get a job... That in itself said a lot about you, the person & I will never forget what you meant to me. I have gained so much comfort in knowing that you were such a great man in life, that the gates of heaven has undoubtedly opened up to you! It's a great person like you who will always have a place with God, after fulfilling his plans which he had put in place for you & it's knowing these things which lessens the sadness within my heart. You have been so blessed throughout your amazing life & I thank you for everything great which you represented.

Dearest Uncle Teddy,



Since your passing, I have already spoken to you in my prayers - for I know you are with God!



I will never forget the love and care that you expressed last year when you opened your doors to me. You never hestitated to make me aware of my flaws or mistakes and always expected nothing but success from me. My dear uncle, I ask that your nurturing spirit continue to watch over me while I walk this earth. The discussions we shared were not in vain. I promise to be the man that you would have wanted me to be. I love you my dear uncle. May your soul rest in peace.

Jackie Warner

April 24, 2006

To the entire Warner Family, my deepest sympathy and heartfelt sorrow on hearing of the death of Dr. Oswald Warner, professor of cardiothoracic surgery, Howard University Hospital and College of Medicine. Dr. Warner will always alive in the memories of his knowledge of medicine and surgery, his generosity of time and spirit of always being there to teach and to help the interns and residents to learn the art and craft of medicine and surgery. Death does not diminish the spirit of knowledge and education that he possessed but only heightens the thirst of those who remember and remain to follow his path. My wish is that his work is not yet over and that he can still guide and look out for all those whom he guided if that is within the will of God for his life throughout his eternal heavenly rest.

Dianne Jackson-Jones

April 24, 2006

Dear Teddy,

Thank you for always being there. I'll never forget how you rescued my mom from a very dangerous blood clot. Even after being in a surgical procedure for more than six hours, you insisted that you would perform her surgery. My family and I are eternally grateful to you. May you rest in peace knowing that you are loved and deserve the utmost respect.

You inspired me to continue my studies and my dreams of becoming a dentist even when I thought it might be too late for me to complete this task.

May you rest in eternal peace Uncle Teddy.....I love you!!
