After a year of art school, Warren joined the Air Force and served for 4 years, including a tour in the Korean War. Warren worked as an architectural draftsman with the Corps of Engineers part time while living in Chicago and attending Wright Junior College. The family moved to Salt Lake City where he worked as an engineering draftsman for the Bureau of Reclamation while attending and graduating from the University of Utah. He was hired by the Toran Corporation in Salt Lake and eventually became President/General Manager. A move to San Diego and Los Angeles found him working for Eureka Industrial Pumps and Peerless Pumps, from which he retired in 1991. He met and married his wife in 1980. They lived in Anaheim for 17 years before moving to Bellingham. They were married for 36 years: years full of love, laughter, and great adventures. When his wife retired from teaching, they moved to the beautiful NW to be near family, and built their home in Sudden Valley overlooking Lake Louise.
Warren was such a creative and talented man, and an avid outdoorsman. He ski-jumped with a team in the Air Force, was a life-long downhill and cross-country skier, hunted, fished, was a storyteller, an artist, and a photographer. He loved playing golf, both in Sudden Valley and with the Whatcom Seniors. He had an intense love of the mountains and "high places" and was happiest on a trail, hiking for miles. Moving near Mt. Baker was the perfect place for him to be!
Warren was very caring and devoted to his wife, son, daughter, and family and was very much loved by all. His sister calls him "the best brother ever." Warren is survived by his wife , his son, his daughter his sisters, sister-in-law, his 3 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren, along with very special nieces, nephews, and their families.
A private graveside service with military honors will be held for family.
