“In all my life, I never heard him utter an unkind word.”
This is what people say when they learn that former little Silver resident, Donald Louis Warren, went to his heavenly home on Oct. 28. He was 89.
Don was born on Jan. 2, 1935 to Louis and Catherine Warren. After graduating from Glen Ridge Hight School, where he lettered in basketball and football, he attended Upsala College where he was a member of the Rho Alpha Phi fraternity.
He married his college sweetheart Dorothy (Dotty), and soon settled in Middletown before moving to Holmdel, Little Silver and, finally, Seabrook Senior Living Community.
Don had a long and successful career in insurance, serving in management positions with Travelers and Prudential, eventually landing at Boynton and Boynton, where he was a respected colleague until he fully retired at age 82.
Don was a member of Tower Hill Presbyterian Church for 62 years, where he enjoyed singing bass in the choir. He was also a member of Red Bank’s Root Beer and Checker Club , serving a term as president.
Don is survived by: his loving wife, Dorothy; his son, Jim Warren (Laura); his daughter, Cathy McAuliffe (Jim); six grandchildren, Katy Oliver (Casey), Colleen McWilson (Matt), Christy Bellis (Chris), Chris McAuliffe, Garrett McAuliffe and Donnie McAuliffe; and four great-grandchildren, Jackson and Cooper Oliver, and Weslyn and Avery McWilson.
A celebration of Don’s life will be held on Nov. 14th at 11 a.m. at Tower Hill Presbyterian Church, 255 Harding Rd, Red Bank. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance at https://pda.pcusa.org/ or Monmouth County Habitat for Humanity https://monmouthhabitat.org/donate-2/.
