Warren was my cousin-his Mother and My Mother were sisters.
I used to spend part of summers with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins. We had a great time and there are a lot of memories.
I especially enjoyed meeting all the people who would come into the store. Although I didn't care for the out-house; they eventually got indoor plumbing.
In the recent years Warren and I would enjoy each others phone calls- especialy the discussions about the Denver Broncos.
I will miss him very much- he was a wonderful and sincere person.
My deepest Sympathy.
Thinking of you.
Love, Cathy Wright - Sunrise Beach, Missouri

Warren was my father's cousin. They grew up together in eastern Colorado during the hardest of times. They remained close throughout life and visited each other when they could. Warren in Aurora and my Dad - Jack Moldenhauer -in Colo Spgs. My Dad passed this previous March and Warren was deeply saddened when he passed as we are now at Warren's passing. I toast Warren who was a good man and to his well lived life. Happy Trails Warren!

So many memories of going to the store with a pop bottle for a 2 cent refund & choose our penny candy in the 1950's.
