I am so sorry for your loss. Myself and your Dad always had our way of talking smart to each other, but I always thought of him as a second pops. He and mom would bring me a shamrock shake when I was working at Oak Grove, always made me so happy. He was an awesome Father, Grandpa, Husband and Friend. He will be missed by many. MY thoughts and prayers are with the whole family God Bless.
Some people leave great legacies. Warren is one of those people. He was ‘real’ – you always knew where you stood and what he believed in. He was not afraid to speak his mind or stand up for something he felt strongly about. He also knew the importance of laughter – I can’t count the number of times he’d come into the store (3J’s) and leave us laughing so hard we’d be crying! Warren, I’ll miss hearing your laugh – but I know you’ll be whooping it up in heaven with my dad. See you on the other side. Sending thoughts of comfort and peace to Yvonne and all the family.
My deepest sympathy to the Klumb family and a big hug to Yvonne. I am going to miss him and his sense of humor and his laugh. We always looked forward to you coming in to the casino late at night and putting a smile on all our faces. I’m going to miss him. Rest in peace Warren, you are loved by many and will be missed.
Going to miss you my second dad.
