  2. I'm also sad to hear of Warren's passing. I knew he wasn't well but I wasn't expecting this. Warren was a very interesting man and we enjoyed his friendship, even though it was recent and brief. I'm sorry we didn't get the opportunity to know him better.
    Shirley and her family will be in our thoughts and prayers. With a sad heart.
