This is a abbreviated photo album of Warren, Del, Graeme, and their living environment.
Regretably, Warren passed away peacefully yesterday, after a long and hard-fought battle with cancer. Our hearts and prayers are with Delma and the rest of the family.

Warren's title of this photo is "Warren, doing what Warren likes doing".

In addition to the personal and family photos in this thread, there are around 100 additional photos of his pride and joy, BAMBI, a 1965 38 Commander Sport Fisherman, which he stripped down to bare glass and totally rebuilt and remodeled, inside and out.

For the story of this restoration, in Warren's words, check the following link. It's a very well written piece of literature, and it gives insight into the thoughts, expectations, and decision making process this very informed boater went through during this exciting project.
