My sympathies to Warren’s family, friends and loved ones.
Warren was a good man, great neighbor, and a good friend to our father Bill Blalock. We will always remember his kindness when we moved to Wichita greeting us and offering a hand moving us in. Will miss you on the course but will cherish the memories. Rest in Peace Warren and thank you for the memories. Andy Blalock
Marty and Warren were the nicest people any one could ever meet. We traveled to a lot of car shows together. Alot of work to get the cars ready to show but it was always worth it to see them win their awesome trophy 🏆 and see them accept it. loved ❤ our impromptu dates to go out to dinner 🍽. Deciding where to go. He will be greatly missed. Prayers for Marty and the rest of the family. Rest in peace Warren. Love you 💙 Gary and Loretta.
My heart goes out to all of Warrens’ family and friends. He was our sales man from F&E for many years, such a kind and knowledgeable friend. I also worked with him when he was at EVCO. Always a warm smile and a great laugh. He will be missed!
My heart is with Marty and all who loved Warren. As neighbors for over 20 years there were so many memories including golf, our annual Halloween on the culdesac or simply a friendly wave when coming or going. Warren was a good man and will be greatly missed.
