Warren Edmund Klimpke

Warren was born on May 2, 1947 in Oak Park, Illinois to Edmund and Edna Klimpke. He graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Architecture. In his 40+ years in the architectural industry, Warren’s background as a project architect allowed him to oversee the design, construction, and production of many projects throughout the Phoenix area. Having to coordinate with clients, Warren was consistently calm and collected, the true professional. Through mutual friends, Warren met fellow architect Tillie Dong and in 1978, the two were married in Hawaii. In 1990, Warren and Tillie’s son Spencer, was born. Warren was extremely handy and was skilled at home improvement projects. He also enjoyed helping others in this area when they needed it. He explored the sites of both historic and present building structures. His love for everything about cars is one of the main things that he and Spencer could discuss for hours on end. Warren is survived by his wife Tillie, son Spencer (Melanie), and three grandsons; sister Donna Farmar, nephew Dave, and many other nieces and nephews.
