We were so sorry to hear of Warren’s passing. Just last September we had a nice visit in Miles City during the reunion. As classmates of Warren (Web) we had memorable times that we will always treasure.

So very sorry to hear of Warren’s passing. I was a classmate of Warren’s graduating Class of ’61 and although I had not seen him in many years I still have good memories of Warren. RIP my friend.
Chuck and Barb Webster says
We feel deep grief at the loss of Warren. We have been separated by so many miles and so many years. Warren was blessed to have his soulmate , Diane as his companion for such a long time, and to have her at his side at the end. Rest in peace, Warren.

I would like to add my condolences on Warren’s passing. We were good friends during our school years and particularly on the baseball field. I always looked forward to seeing him now and then at reunions and the Bucking Horse Sale. Lots of good memories.
Bill and Proxy Hainer says
Warren had much more life yet to live especially since you were both retired. So sorry I couldn’t make it to his services in M.C. , but appointments didn’t allow it . The four of us had some nice times going out to dinner. Enjoyed knowing you at St. V’s too Dianne.
Lionel & Sandy Archdale says
It is so sad to hear of Warren’s passing. I feel fortunate to have seen him last fall in Miles City with so many others from the old neighborhood. (We never called it that when we were growing up there) between Bender Park, along both sides of the ‘slough’ and on west to the mouth of the Tongue. In other words almost all of us attended Garfield. Warren and a few others went to Sacred Heart at times. All of us knew a lot of people beyond our area but there was a special kinship when you lived on the ‘Island’ or close to it. Good solid friends. We had a good visit on a previous reunion and I was proud of how well Warren had done after leaving Miles City. We laughed at how we had both discovered what being union members was all about and how we had each done “better than expected” I will definitely miss him and those chats. My condolences to his wife Dianne and all his family, and friends far and wide. God Bless, R.I.P.
Jim Thompson says
I was so sorry to hear of Warren passing. He and I had some great times at Custer and always a few laughs and stories at Bucking Horse Sale time or reunions. He was a good friend and he will be sorely missed. My condolences to the family.
Larry and Pam Certain says
Dear Diane and family, I just heard of Warren’s passing and was sad to hear. I feel blessed that I was able to see him and Jerry at the football game, and then get to visit with both of you at the reunion dance, the next evening. Warren always seemed a happy man, and especially so, after being with you Diane. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. He will be missed. Goodbye friend, until later.
Bob Hall says
So sorry for your loss! I was a good school friend of his brother Chuck.
