"I recently found out about the unfortunate passing of Warren. My family had a home in Chatham NJ as did Warrens. Because I went to a regional prep high school, I didn't really know him well, only in occasional meetings at events and such. Somehow I found out he was going to Syracuse University, as was I. In the fall of 1983 we met up on campus and became fast friends. We pledged fraternities together, he chose FIGI and I chose Sigma Chi. We were exploring experience of really growing up. We went our separate ways a bit as college years went on, but always stayed in touch. After college, we stayed in touch a bit but eventually we went on our way building our families. I will always remember Warren as a kind, nice and fun guy, great heart and super smart. I was sad to hear of his passing, albeit 4 years later. My condolences to his family. RIP. Clifford Kilkenny"
"Barbara, Although I don't know you personally I share your grief over the loss of your son. I lost my eight year old son this past summer and have been on a spiritual quest for understanding ever since. I heard about you through the Unitarian newsletter. I have been attending since September in hopes of finding peace in my heart. One can never be the same after a tragedy such as this occurs. We can be thankful for the precious time that we had and look foreward to seeing them again one day. I fully believe we will be together with our loved ones again. That knowledge gives me the courage to go on living my life while bide my time. I wish you the comfort of loving family and friends to help you through this terrible time. You are not alone!

"From all the Foster girls - Susan, Ruth, and Mary - from the old neighborhood in Chatham, N.J., - our deepest sympathies to Warren's family. It is easy to see that the wonderful boy we knew growing up and in high school was a loving father, husband and friend. To ever understand why these things happen is impossible but we are so grateful to have been a small part of his life, to have known his family. We will always remember Warren with love and frienship from a magical time in our lives when we were very young and very happy. I know that youthful exuberance will live on in his lovely children."
"Ken and family - So very sorry to learn of Warren's passing. You are all in my thoughts.Tim Collins"
"I am so sorry for your loss. Warren was a customer for a short period of time and I never saw him that he wasn't smiling. He was so nice and a very caring father. His family meant a great deal to him and I know he was very proud of his children. My prayers go out to his family and children. JoAnn Burgess"
"Words can't express my sadness for your loss. Warren was such a wonderful man. He loved his kids more than anything. It was so evident in the way he spoke about them! I'll never forget the band he always wore on his wrist for his kids. It was a pleasure to have Warren as a client but more importantly to call him my friend. He will live on in our stories, thoughts and hearts. My prayers go out to you. Warren you will be missed! Tammy Taylor"
