Warren's Memory Wall
We encourage you to share your most beloved memories of Warren here, so that the family and other loved ones can always see it. Share your favorite stories or comment on those shared by others.
Through the many years of knowing Warren I truly enjoyed seeing him each time he came into the office. He always took time to catch up with me whether he came in or called on the phone. Beginning over a year ago we had touched base by telephone. I will miss his positive character, belief in me and genuine manner. I think of him often. I am thankful to have known him and to have had the opportunity to develop a further friendship outside of business.

Condolences to the family and specifically Tom.
Your father will be missed. What a pleasure over the years it was to see him at the conventions, his booth was always a popular gathering point. Even better would be when he would swing by my office just to check on me and my family and we would go to lunch.
A class act at all times in my experience.

I have been in the chiropractic profession for over 38 years being active in every state organization from the MSCA to the MAC. I looked forward to greeting Warren at our conventions. He was always friendly, asking how I was and my family as well. Talkative, friendly and engaged. He was a kind man, a pillar in the chiropractic profession for many years. I will miss seeing him at his vending area smiling and greeting all of his many friends, you could tell that this was his extended family and we appreciated him as well.

I am so sorry to hear that Warren has passed. I am glad he lived a long life and he will be missed by many in the chiropractic community. I will always remember his big smile and his teasing quips. My condolences to his children and grandchildren.

Warren was simply a class act - what you saw was what you got and if he was your friend, he was true blue to the core. We first met Warren in 1976 when we were preparing to open our Chiropractic practice in Allegan. He stopped by to meet us while we were putting some final touches on our building. It was apparent he was a salesman but so much more. There was an immediate attraction to him due to his genuine friendliness, gregariousness, and reaching out to us in ways that were helpful. He had one of the most remarkable memories and life stories I've ever witnessed...and he loved to tell his stories also! Through our 35 years of practice, he was a true friend in more ways than I can innumerate. He's also been our friend the last 10 years since we sold our practice. Each of our calls and visits have been rewarding in multiple ways. There's no question that he loved Lisa, Tom, and his grandchildren...and his beloved Mitzi, of course. We always thought he'd live longer than his mother but apparently that wasn't to be. We do know, based on our many conversations, that's he's with his Heavenly Father and he's enjoying his new body! We'll miss him terribly...already do...but are so much richer to have known him. Our sincere condolences to Lisa & Tom ~ you never have to wonder if you were loved!

My condolences to the family.
Warren, much love. I will miss you very much. I only got the a couple decades with you and in that time learned A Lot from you. He always took time, sometimes as much time as he could to talk, listen and laugh lol. From fresh farm eggs to pure maple syrup and great visits. We’ll miss you bother. Thank you for everything!
Peace,
Dr. Lloyd Redington Jr.

Warren held to the motto of service above self. In the almost 36 years that I was lucky to know him, we collaborated on numerous table sales and nutritional products. He was always interested in my family and my practice. He reached out to me when he heard our son had brain cancer with info and prayers. I will remember his smile and handshake the rest of my life. May god grant your family peace. Dr. Daniel VanGessel, Grand Rapids, MI

The chiropractic profession has lost a great friend and supporter. Warren has helped more chiropractors get started and supported the MAC in more ways than most of us will ever know. Our hearts go out to his family at this difficult time. From our MAC family to the Johnston family we collectively say "God Bless You".

I'm glad to have known Warren. He was a good guy. I met him in 1986 when I started in practice in St Joseph. I think he lived in Stevensville, so he was close by and there when he was needed. When I think of Warren I see easy conversations, a guy who knew his stuff and was always comfortable to be around. All my best to his family.

What a great guy. From the first time I met him back in the 1990s I knew he was honest guy and he proved that to thousands of DCs in the forthright way he ran Johnston Health Products. He will be missed.

Warren was always a joy to talk to at the conventions and when I had equipment questions. He will be sorely missed.

I am sorry to hear of Warren's passing. He was a very caring man and we had some great times together at the credit union. He always shared a good joke and always a hug. Rest in Peace Warren. We miss you already. May God provide you with much comfort during this sad time.
