Warren Grube

Warren loved sharing his faith in Christ and was a devoted member of Grace Baptist Church of Newport. He delighted in robust conversations that could last for hours and was rarely seen without his warm smile. Warren was a constant source of encouragement and affection, offering both freely and without hesitation. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Warren was born on September 10, 1935, in Syracuse, New York, and grew up in Solvay, New York. He earned a degree in agriculture and proudly served his country in the United States Coast Guard. Over the years, Warren owned and operated a bicycle shop and later retired after many years of dedicated work as a salesman for Newport Sand & Gravel.

He was preceded in death by his son, Timothy Grube; Frances M. Grube; and his stepson, David Graham.

Warren is survived by his loving wife, Patricia Solomon; his sons, Tom (Linda) Grube and Christopher (Frances) Grube; his daughter, Jennifer (David) Baumgartner; and his stepsons, Scott, James, Philip, and Stephen Graham. He is also survived by his sister, Sally Olech of New York. Warren was a proud grandfather to five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
