Theresa,
Nancy and I just learned last night that one of nicest guys we’ve known has left us. Warner was always there when we needed him — be softball, be it work, or be it just companionship and chats at the Steak & Ale. We learned from Warner and you how to be Texans. We’ll miss him, but will never lose the memories.
We are heartbroken to learn of Warner’s passing. We have precious memories of our times with him. Our prayers are with Theresa and family. 🙏🏻🙏🏻💜
