I was always welcome at the Grist home, while growing up in Augusta. Warren almost made me feel like a "third son." He always had time to help the boys with our "projects," be they scouting, VW bug radio wiring, basketball nets, lots of styrofoam activities and of course making sure Bill and I had the radio set up right so we could listen to WLS out of Chicago.

Warren was a wonderful man, and it was an honor to know him. He will be truly missed. God speed, sir.

the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.

Dear June and family, Back in the late 70s & early 80s I would visit with you when you would shop at Dillon's at 13th & woodlawn as I worked there finishing up my education at WSU. I would ask about Minda and Randal. You were always a delight. I am so sorry to read of this passing. May God bless you and your family. Most sicerely, John Evans
