A retired Indian Head Park Police officer, Warren never stopped working. He was the owner operator of Boehm Trenching and also drove a semi which he truly enjoyed, possibly as much as fishing. Warren was blessed to have the ability to take annual trips to Lake of the Woods, Nestor Falls Island in Ontario Canada to fish from August to October. Other hobbies included flying his 108 Stinson and volunteering often for Church functions at his parish, St. Mary Catholic Church in Minooka.
