Some of my favorite memories from my childhood, were staying at Aunt Ona's and Uncle Warren's. He would chauffeur Carolyn Kaye and I around, treating us as two little Princesses. We are sending a gift to The American Legion, in his honor.

Warren was one of my many wonderful cousins, of who range from being born in 1923 until 1956.
I was born in 1945 so I don't remember the earlier years of knowing the older cousins until I grew up.
Then Warren and the rest of my older cousins became a very large part of my life.
Warren always had a way of getting around to everyone at our 86 reunions and visiting and remembering the memories of the past.
I could drop in at his lovely home and stay and talk and he loved that. Meeting for the cousin breakfast was another highlight of our cousins and be was always there.
He encouraged me many times when I was trying to keep our reunions alive.
I have great admiration for him as well as Steve and Carolyn.
We both will miss seeing him. He always talked to Dan about DOC THE B 29 BOMBER.
IT'S HARD TO LET GO BUT WE ALL HAVE GREAT MEMORIES.
One time, after all the cousins had left after one of our breakfasts, I was alone without Dan that time, and I moved over to sit with Warren.
Ţhere we were. And we sat there and talked until the cafe was getting ready to serve lunch!
We had been there from 7:30am until 11:30. And we had a one on one conversation for hours.
WHAT MEMORIES.
Carolyn and family Rod and I are so sad to lose our friend and neighbor of many years. Warren was a genuinely kind and true gentleman. He was so good to keep an eye on our home in chanute from going over and turning up the heat when we were coming to visit to letting in repairmen and even going over every day to fill the food dish for me for hungry neighborhood cats. And oh his beautiful photos of our spring flower gardens when we were unable to be there to see them. Most of all we will miss our many summer evening wine times on our front porch hashing and rehashing our memories of growing up in chanute.
Our last wine time was spent recently in his home where he brought out his finest crystal goblets for the three of us to once again (and for the last time) share a bottle of Grigio and all those wonderful memories. Rest In Peace dear friend.
