Can't believe it's been a year already.
From time to time you'll pop up on my mind and I'll think of that smile that Mischievous smile you used to have when you were up to something it was a telltale sign that you were doing something you shouldn't have been doing and then that laugh. 
We miss you alot Warren 
Continue watching over your family and give them signs that you're still there watching them


I can remember the day Warren married my mom. I was dancing with my Grandma at the reception on the boat. I was only 9 or 10 I remember asking her "what do I call Warren now that he's married to my Mom." She said "call him whatever makes you both comfortable." I remember waking up the next day running in to my parents room jumping on the bed and saying "good morning Mom good morning Dad." They both lit up and started to laugh. Although we didn't call you Dad often you will always be a Father to us in our hearts. Love and miss you so much. - Darian

Warren was one of the sweetest, kindest people I've ever met.  He was SO welcoming to me our first time meeting each other.   He always a giant smile. and his goofy laugh went along with his sense of humor.  I was blessed to have known him and will always remember our joyful times.

Thinking of all of you.  May you find comfort and peace in your memories.  Love, Aunt Loretta

I remember when Jen you told me about the date you had with this guy Warren.   Seems nice you said.  He truly was the one for you and brought you so much happiness.  A great guy and always had that great smile!  Blessed the time you had with Warren and the life you made with him in Florida.  My deepest condolences.  Vicki

I was only in America for four months in 1983 before starting high school.  Assimilating wasn’t easy and over the summer I made few friends.  I can’t remember when or how Warren and I started speaking, but I can only guess it was because of something unmentionable I might have done in class.  He had the biggest smile and the whitest teeth.  I never saw him without a smile on his face.  His energy was always light.  He called me, “Miss McIntosh.”  As a new everything,  it was nice to not only be recognized but have someone know your name.  And for me that is worth remembering.   Thanks Warren!  

~Souls~
When two souls fall in love, there is nothing else but the yearning to be close to the other. The presence that is felt through a hand held, a voice heard, or a smile seen.

Souls do not have calendars or clocks, nor do they understand
the notion of time or distance. They only know it feels right to be with one another.

This is the reason why you miss someone so much when they
are not there—even if they are only in the very next room. Your soul only feels their absence—it doesn’t realize the separation is temporary.

I don’t have one specific memory of Warren. When I think of him, I can recall his smile. His whole face would just light up whenever he smiled.  But there was something in his eyes that shined just a little brighter when it came to Jen, and their family. And what a laugh! He loved to laugh. I am glad that we were able to meet in this lifetime Warren. 

When you first started talking to me online I fell for your quirky humor.   Since you didn't post a picture I had no idea what you would look like.  I took a chance and agreed to a first "date" at the Chinese buffet by my job.  
On our first date I did my best to show you my worse side.  I deliberately wore jeans and a t-shirt that seen better days.  My table manners were horrible.  I  cussed like a sailor the entire time.  You just had your mischievous smile on your face the entire time.   Like you knew what I was up to.   I was trying to see if you could handle me at my worst before you could give you me at my best.  

When we received our fortunes we both laughed.  Your fortune read "The love of your life was right before you."    Mine said "A wonderful future lies before you if you are willing to give it a chance."     We really should have saved those. 
You said you knew after that first date you would do anything to make sure I married you.

Three months later you proposed.  Everyone said we were crazy and wouldn't last.  But we did.  

I was truly blessed and favored to have been able to share 17 years  with you.  We raised a beautiful family together. You can rest knowing that I will take care of our youngest and make sure she knows her daddy would never have left her if he had been given a choice.   That he fought long and hard to stay with us.

"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life."  ~Elizabeth Gilbert~


Thanks for trips to Manhattan, bike rides around Queens, trips to pizza places, Italian ices from carts, trips to the mall, making my mom feel loved, all the best childhood memories I have, and the most important person in the world to me (Mickey). My mom and Mickey are in great hands. We will take care of them. We’ll meet again one day ❤️

There’s so many memories that Rickie and I have. But I think my one memory is when we used to come visit you and Jennie. You and Rickie would go into your war room that was actually your computer room and hang out and Jennie and I will go to your bedroom and hang out and talk crap about you guys lol 😂 I’ll never forget your mischievous smile and laughter when you knew you were up to something you shouldn’t be up to.
You were a great friend to us. A super amazing husband to Jennie And a really good dad to your 4 kids. 
Thank you for all the great memories and giving my friend the best 17 years of marriage You will not be forgotten But remembered for all the great memories and fun we had together Rest in peace my friend we’ll meet up again one day and I hope you’ll greet me with that big mischievous smile❣️❣️❣️
