With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Warren Spomer, 88,.
Some lives speak quietly; his is one such story.
Warren entered this world in 1932 — the start of a journey that would span 88 years.
Warren held deeply to the Lutheran faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
Honor is not a word lightly given. Warren earned it.
