Warren died Feb. 6, 2012, losing an arduous battle with liposarcoma and paraneoplastic diseases.
After graduating from Nyack High School, “Weed” — as we knew him in college — majored in electrical engineering at Princeton and played JV basketball. As a member of Cannon Club, he served as social chairman his senior year.
Weed was a successful businessman and entrepreneur, having successfully bought, managed, and sold businesses in the data-processing, home improvement, and hospitality industries.
Weed will always be remembered as the chairman of the board of trustees of Cannon Dial Elm Club, which reopened in the fully restored Cannon Club building in the autumn of 2011. Reflecting upon this achievement (25 years in the making), a classmate described the ongoing saga with the University as “the most extraordinary game of Monopoly I’ve ever seen.”
He also was a Reunions stalwart, missing only a few since 1963, and climbing up and then sliding down every tent that he could.
Immediately upon graduating in ’62, he married his high school sweetheart, Beverly Koblin, who died in 1993. He is survived by their daughter, Saundra King ’85; son Randall Crane ’88; and four grandchildren.
He will be remembered for his intense zeal, energy, and creativity in all things.
