Warren is remembered by his children for his fighting spirit and undying optimism. He was a licensee of the Max McGraw Wildlife Foundation, where he enjoyed skeet shooting with his sons. His consortium salvaged Chinese porcelains, pieces of eight, doubloons and Aztec gold and was considered at the time (1978) to be the biggest undersea treasure haul in history. I recall at one of our reunions, his tales of financing the successful search and salvaging mission of the Spanish galleon, Nuestra Señora de la Concepción, which was sunk off the coast of the Dominican Republic in 1641. He had a passion for business and adventure. After a career as a product manager at Procter & Gamble he became a pioneering venture capitalist and investment banker. I remember Warren for his optimism and infectious "can do" attitude. He was one of five in our class to receive an M.B.A. He played freshman football, lettered in track and served as President of the Freshman Council. At Amherst, Warren was a leading member of Delta Kappa Epsilon and served as rushing chairman. He prepared at Evanston Township High School.
