Warren Herman Eastright was born at Dr. Davis's house in Audubon, Camden County, New Jersey on December 16, 1942 to A-67, Willis Reynolds Sr. and Kathryn Alice MacLardy Eastright. Warren lived his first seven years in New York City. When his parents separated he lived with his mother in Emerson, Bergen County, New Jersey until 1953 when he moved to Bladensburg, Prince George's County, Maryland with his dad and other siblings. Reds, as his family and friends call him, (later dropped the name Reds and went by Warren in his late 20s) was hit by a car when he was 12 years old causing him to be unconscious for three days. When he was 15, his left lung collapsed three times in a ten-month period. Dr. Kauffman claimed it was caused by a birth defect. There was a decision to remove a portion of his left lung during his third stay at the hospital. Warren tried to enlist in the United States Marines in the summer of 1961, but was rejected because of his half-lung. For the next 45+ years, he worked in the commercial printing field (web presses). Warren started working in Rockville, Montgomery County, Maryland in August 1961. He met Catherine Irene Whittington at a Catholic Youth Club in the summer of 1959 and was dating steadily by September 1959. They were married in Epping Forest, Anne Arundel County, Maryland on October 14, 1961. Cathy, as her family and friends call her, was born in Riverdale, Prince George County on October 5, 1943 to Joseph Neal Sr. and Blanche Corinne White Whittington. In April 1969, Warren and his family moved to Redondo Beach, Los Angeles County, California. Warren and Cathy divorced in June 1971. Warren's second marriage was to Gayle Elizabeth Wingfield on May 5, 1972 in Victorville, San Bernardino County, California. Gayle was born in Vinita, Mays County, Oklahoma on May 8, 1950 to James and Betty Smith Wingfield. After his son, A-83, Kevin D. Eastright, was born a little over two months premature they had to leave the Los Angeles area for cleaner air. We moved to Euless, Tarrant County, Texas in April 1973. Warren and Gayle divorced in the summer of 1981. Around 1990, Warren went into his own business as a consultant/troubleshooter for other printing companies around the United States. In 1992, the economy was not doing well and he was tired of traveling, so he decided too not to continue with the business. He decided to start selling printing and operating a taxi service for businesspeople going to the airport. Warren's fifth marriage was to Glenda Luelle McCall Etchieson on April 5, 1997 in Maui, Hawaii. Glenda was born in Fort Worth, Tarrant County Texas on April 4, 1942 to James Edgar and Ethel Estelle Williams McCall. Warren and Glenda are now retired and travel around the country visiting casinos and researching their genealogy. Warren enjoyed fishing, country dancing, traveling, and contributing to Ancestry and Find A Grave genealogy websites. Warren and Cathy had two children. Warren and Gayle had one child and Gayle brought one daughter to the marriage, Shannon LaDawn Wingfield born on May 8, 1971. Glenda has a daughter from a previous marriage, Glenda Michelle Etchieson Angota born on November 16, 1963. Warren died on June 29, 2022 at Vitas Inpatient Hospice Unit in Dallas, Texas surrounded by his wife of twenty-five years, Glenda Luelle McCall (nee), and his two daughters Melinda and Cynthia. The immediate cause of death was Congestive Heart Failure with underlying causes of Hypertensive and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease. Significant conditions contributing to the cause of death were a left hip fracture and hematoma with a mid-mind shift of the brain caused by a fall. In addition, he was diagnosed with dementia a year before his death. At the time of his death, the disease was not at an advanced stage. He is buried in the McCall family plot Section Valor Ridge; Lot 48; Subspace 4B at Oak Grove Memorial Gardens in Irving, Texas.
