Memories of Warren go back to grade school as we lived in the same neighborhood.

As I recall a really nice mellow guy.  My condolences to his family.

Well this is very sad news indeed. We had a long conversation at the 50th and it reminded me of what a thoughtful person he was. Thank you for letting us know Bill. Kathy Riley

I'm so sorry to hear the terrible news about Warren. He lived down the street from me on Hampton Road and we were in the same class from 5th grade on.  We had so many good conversations over the years, usually precipitated by my walking my dog at times he happened to be outside.  He was a great friend--thoughtful, smart, and funny and always ready to laugh at himself, too. I remember him telling me how when he got his Honda he proudly rode it up to the Penguin, got off coolly to get in line, and then heard the whole row of bikes parked there come crashing down because he'd forgotten to put down the kickstand!  
My heart goes out to Phyllis, their daughters, and their grandchildren.  He will be dearly missed.

So very sad to hear about Warren.  He was such a nice guy, always.  He played Basketball with Rick for many years.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Through the order of our last names Warren and I would chat briefly almost every school morning in homeroom.  He was always upbeat, positive and just a really nice guy.  He had one of those natural warm genuine smiles - not over done such that you knew his feelings matched his smile.  R.I.P.
