Warren's younger sister, Dolly (Rosemary) says Warren was a good big brother. He taught her how to hold a baseball bat and how to stand when hitting. He used to play golf on the prairie burying tin cans in the prairie dirt and hit balls into them. One time Warren wore tight blue jeans and had stick matches in his front pocket. When he bent over the front fender of his car it caused the matches to ignite. Everyone laughed at him as he tried to get his tight jeans off and stood in the driveway in his underpants.
Dolores, Warren's niece: Remembers her mother, Marigold (Warren's sister), telling her how Uncle Warren loosened the handlebars on the one family bike so that when anyone else tried to ride it they would fall forward and off. It had no pedals, just spikes. Warren told Dolores many stories of her father's actions during WW2.
Marie, Warren's niece: Remembers fishing with him many times. He took her fishing under the Narrows Bridge and broke his shear pin and got water into the spark plug so that she learned many new cuss words that day. They had to row back to shore which took several hours. He lived with the Jones family in Toledo and worked with Elmer Jones, Marigold's husband. He went to Barnes Park and got stuck in the mud and had to let the air out of his tires to get out of the mud. He had a large gray Weimaraner, named Gardigerous April Babe. The dog went by Babe. She had hip displacement. The dog sat with Warren in the front seat of his car. Everytime a car came towards them Babe would put her head behind his back. As sson as the car passed he would look forward again. He adored Babe. He loved riding his motorcycle and taking his nieces for rides. He was a good uncle.
Helen, Warren's niece, said he caught her sneaking out of the house at night and sent her back inside. She remembers riding on his motorcycle together and laying it down in the gravel.
