Our prayers to everyone. I always enjoyed my trips to Tiffin, especially my study trips and stops to/from Notre Dame. Aunt Lou and Uncle Warren always had a cold beer and Ballreich chips waiting for me. Thanks for the great memories.

I remember playing with lawn darts and hanging out with the cousins at Warren and Mary Lou´s home. It was always welcoming.

Warren was a wonderful man who was gentle, witty, and smart. At any gathering, he made it more fun. He will be sorely missed.
