Warren was a friend of mine.  We shared numerous classes from Edison through WHS.  Its incredibly tragic that both he and his wife died so young.  He always talked about becoming a doctor, and he succeeded.  He razzed me alot, but in a good way, and I appreciated being his "token" white jewish friend.  God speed Warren.
