Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
We have been out of town, so we are so sorry we missed news of Warren’s death and missed the funeral on Monday. Although we did not know Warren well, we know he was a warm and courageous gentelman and always enjoyed the brief conversations we had with him. We’re certain a man of his caliber will be greatly missed. To HElen and family, may God grant you His strength and comfort and be close to you during these days of missing Warren. Kim and Chuck Romig (neighbors)

Helen, my deepest sympathy. I enjoyed knowing you and Warren so many years ago at through Girl Scouts. I moved away in 1995, but try to read the Eagle on-line every morning. Today it was sad news.
