Warren is remembered as a professional and a good friend. We worked together in DCI. He was someone who could take a joke...he had lots of laughter. Our prayers are with Warren, his family and friends.

So sorry to hear of Warren's death. He was my boss as the U.S Marshal. After he retired and I retired, I worked for the pharmacy that delivered his medications to the Shores while he was a resident there. I used to stop and chat with him regularly. I will miss his friendly smile. Deepest sympathies to his family.

My heart goes out to everyone in Warren's family. What a wonderful man! He was a good friend of my dad and step-mom, Bob and Sharon Townsend, and I had the pleasure of seeing him every year at Christmas time and was the beneficiary of many of his warm embraces. I'm so glad I knew him! May you all be comforted by many happy memories - now and in the days to come.

So sorry to hear about Warren. My wife and I bought their home on 10th Ave in Altoona. I especially enjoyed being part of the HyVee breakfast club. Warren always had words of wisdom.
