I’m just finding out now about Warren’s passing. I met Warren in 84 at the GMF Boston. We hit if off right away. We both served. We both were in special forces. He was Army Ranger and I was Marine Recon. We had a lot laughs and great time’s together. Warren was liked every one. Hard worker and just a great friend. I’m sad I didn’t get to see him some years before he passed. He was my Bub. This is what we called each other. It’s a military thing. God bless his whole family. Sorry I’m so late finding out.
Wow, My Condolences to the Ford Family I Remember Doc. RIP MY FRIEND.
