During his 35 year career in education he served first as a teacher and then as an administrator at both Hall and Conard High Schools in West Hartford, CT. Warren was a talented woodworker who used his creativity to complete many projects for his family and friends. He was a member of Bethesda Lutheran Church, which is now known as Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, where he devoted his time and energy serving on various committees in many capacities.

He was a loving and devoted 'Pop-Pop' to his eight grandchildren: Jennifer, Vicki, Cory, Dusty, Mandy, and Amy Johnson, and Linnea and Mic Brown.
