He will be missed so muchÂ
I have never met a kinder, gentler man in my entire life. He was good to everyone. His family meant more to him then life itself. He was a Christian man in every way possible! I am so happy that I was able to be part of his life.
I miss you, Uncle Warren. You were funny and caring and a wonderful human being, although since you were a Kennedy I wouldn’t trust you while standing on a dock. Thank you for being part of our family and giving the world some of my favorite people. ‘Til we meet again.
