Warren was one of my best friends and like most friends was shocked and very dismayed at his un expected death. I regret that I didn’t get a chance to see him before he passed.Like a lot of friends we take life for granted and busy ourselves with our private lives thinking that we are here forever.I want to thank his family for sharing Warren with me.He created in me some of my best life experiences I could ever have.I got to know Warren through a mutual gun enthusiast back in the 70’s.I think has name was stapleton…anyway Warren was very friendly and loved to go to the mts with several friends. He will be sorely missed by all.My special condolence to Mrs Kreiser…..John Sayer
