I Was Sad To Read Of Warren’S Passing. I Worked With Him In The Energy Systems Engr. Group At Carbide And Loved Knowing Him. We Kept In Touch Via Christmas Cards And At Luncheons That Dell Binford Arranged For Our Group After Our Retirements. I Liked To Tease Warren And Call Him “The Old Curmudgeon” When We Were At Carbide, Since He Wasn’T One To Gloss Over Things, But Rather To Call Them Just The Way He Saw Them. He Liked To Say “Bah Humbug” At Christmas Time, So I Made Sure That His Office Had Lots Of Decor And Signs Of The Season! We Had A Wonderful Group And Enjoyed Being With One Another. Warren Was Always A Major Part Of Those Group Activities, And Important To All Of Us.

My Deepest Sympathies To Warren’S Family. I Was Only Able To Enjoy Warren’S Company For A Few Years, But We Became Great Friends Over Our Mutual Love Of Cruising. When I Visited Him Last Year, He Was A Perfect Host, Treating Me To Wonderful Food, Scenery And Conversation. I Will Miss My Dear Friend. My Heart Goes Out To All Of You.
