I am sorry to hear that Warren has died. He and my father, former Story County Sheriff John P. Stark, were good friends and worked cases together occasionally. They enjoyed sharing stories and respected each other in the positions they held over their law enforcement careers. They were 2 true professionals in their fields.
I am sure they are talking about old times now. May Warren be in God's loving arms.
