By the time he retired in 1971, he had earned the rank of Master Sergeant and was serving as an instructor. Back home, he kept working with his hands and loved spending time in his workshop. The master tinkerer he was, he spent countless hours working on engines, with wood, and even computers! Anyone who knew Warren could attest to the fact that he simply never let dust settle, and that he loved his family with vigor. They will lovingly remember his quick wit, his fun-loving nature, and the flair he brought to the art of storytelling.
