Warren enjoyed farming, fishing, growing, and eating sweet corn, mowing, hanging out at the stations and the lumberyard, and doing woodwork. During his woodworking days, he made and gave away over 500 cutting boards. He said it was fun giving them away, but if you sold them, then it felt like work. Warren also grew an abundance of sweet corn each year, which he shared with the community. A thank-you card came from as far away as Michigan thanking Warren for his generosity for letting them pick from his sweet corn patch that summer. He enjoyed fishing, feeding eagles, and hanging out with his many friends and spending time with his grandson. Warren was generous, kind, and giving. He was also ornery! He knew how to make people laugh, and he always had a good time everywhere he went. Warren knew no stranger, and he will be missed by many.
