Warren what a prodigy. Growing up with this man was a joy! His humor and sense of fun. the family put up with me thank you! He watched out for his mom and Donna. Our tight little group with it's own language which he doled out with ease. John was Dr. J, Mike (myself) was Mikesky, or more annoying names. Mike is so easy! He was the Wizard coined by the Doc and aptly put. He was so good at everything! Smart, resourceful, patience to a fault. He maintained his own car (thanks Dad, Mr.Balan), house. Name a sport he would excel at it. He introduced me to tennis and I never beat him not once! He had a car, but would bike everywhere. His wipeouts were legendary! I'm in shock and disbelief! He was a best friend, mentor, a treasured memory. We both loved out dogs (Tori, Wilson) and cried when they died. He stunned me when I became Peter "The Great's" God father! He was a wonderful father. We talked for hours on how to nurture Peter's mind and body! He was a family person who loved and worried his parents. We talked about Mr Balan at the store, or his mom for example.. The challenges of getting older. He admired and spoke of his brothers Alan and garret, their drive and motivation. Yes the man was a quieter person, but he was insightful, thoughtful, and to be brought into his circle of trust was a bond a treasured and fiercely guarded! I have always admired this family. Thank you for Warren! I'm glad Warren found Lori in his last few years. life is better shared, and we talked about his happiness together with her and her kids. I'm glad they had fun together. It was too soon mate! I was looking to you beating me up in wheelchair tennis or something. We kept contact even provinces away thank you for your help in that! The Nitendo Wii tennis yup beat me at that too LOL, text, phone calls. I will heal with a scar for sure. I'm grateful for the memories!
