Warren loved everything outdoors.  He was an avid outdoors man.  He loved hunting, fishing, ice fishing, and riding ATV. He enjoyed golfing and was proud to accomplish a Hole-In-One. Warren was not only a craftsman building cabinets and shelves and anything to organize the home he also was a handy man who knew about electrical work and plumbing.  When he wasn’t in the outdoors or making cabinets  he  could be found playing cards and farkle.  His pride and joy were his children and grandchildren.  He spent time with them riding around on the ATV and teaching them about the outdoors.
