Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Warren & Lois were some of the first people we got to know when we began attended First church in the 70’s. Warren was the most helpful usher when I was beginning to work in that area. I was so pleased to know that I had met his dad when he was the superintendent of the Derby School District in 1957. What a small world! It has truly been our pleasure to have known Warren & Lois. They were always friendly and helpful. We especially enjoyed Warren’s humor.
