My Uncle Warren, the “gentle giant” of family gatherings, actually has the most coverage in the family history blog. A well-documented World War II experience, that he never talked about with nieces and nephews, tends to lead to late in life stardom. Uncle Warren was very easy to talk with, even though I didn’t see him more than 4 or 5 times per year. He attended Spencer High School before going to war. He was born on December 10, 1922 and died on April 12, 2021… aged 98!
He seemed like the largest guy in the room at family gatherings, even though Uncle Jim was fairly tall. He became a cattle and hay grower part-time and worked full-time at Sears in the Bloomington Mall after they moved to Spencer in 1967. We would get to see him occasionally at Sears when we were in college at Indiana University.
