Warren was a friend from my days in London, UK. He was on a different watch section than I was but he also lived in the same ‘town house apartments’ that four of us ‘O’ brancjhers had apartments in, I think of Warren, Ray Linn and J C Smith frequently. They were all friends and all three ‘O’ branchers died together on USS LIBERTY (AGTR-5(). May they all RIP. Thank you Mario for keeping their memory alive.

I was assigned to CINCUSNAVEUR London Oct. 1964 and assigned to ‘C’ section with Warren. He was a CT1 while I was a CT3, he was very supportive and assisted me in passing my exam for CT2. Other than our work, because of our differences rank, we had little in common. I remember him as outgoing, fun loving and always ready to assist me achieve goal as a CT2.
