Warren was born on July 22, 1940, to Francis and Frances “Jane” (McCormick) in Albert Lea, MN.  He was raised in Geneva, MN and attended Ellendale-Geneva schools where he played football, basketball, and baseball.  Following his graduation in 1958 he attended Mankato State University for one year and then returned to Geneva to work.  On October 29, 1961, he married his high school sweetheart, Mary Fischer at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Meriden, MN.  Warren and Mary continued to live in Geneva to raise their son, Craig.  Warren owned and operated the Geneva Standard Station for many years and later became an Amoco bulk agent.  Warren was very involved within the community and served on the Geneva Fire Department, coached the little league team and was a baptized and confirmed member of the Geneva Community Lutheran Church.  In his spare time, he enjoyed a round of golf, playing on a fast pitch softball team and bowling league.  A yearly trip to the Laughlin/Las Vegas with his wife hosted years of memories for the couple.
