All Condolences -

I did business with Warren and enjoyed his honesty and sense of humor. We attended a Christmas party at a camp years ago and he taught me to drink Stingers. We were both amazed we made it home. He knew a lot about local history. I''m sorry I won''t run into him and Jan at Walmart again.
