A Tribute to Robert Chauncey Warren II By Rense, Kirk* Virtually every receiver, receiver’s counsel and state and federal
judge in Southern California knew and respected the late Robert Chauncey
“Bob” Warren II, a prominent member of the receivership community for more
than 20 years. Mr. Warren passed away on February 24, 2003 just shy of his
74th birth- day. Rob Warren, Mr. Warren’s son and busi- ness partner,
provided the California Receivership News with this personal commen- tary
on his late father’s life and career. They married in
Alexandria, Virginia in 1953 – after Bob had joined the Army and completed
Officer Candidate School. After a tour in Korea with the Army Corps of
Engineers (Bob had put “Eng” for his degree on his application), Bob and
Barbara lived for a time in Texas, Mississippi and Missouri, as Bob worked
in national radio and in local television as a newscaster. He loved the
news and he loved broadcasting, but it took time away from his family. He Bob was the proud father of two sons, Kyle and me, and was the proud grandfather of three girls, Sally Jean, Robyn and Rachel. He was a man of many loves and many dreams. He never stopped dreaming about new things and new ideas. He was passion- ate about his family, about seeing the beauty of the desert mountains, and about the open sky. He completed his lifelong dream of obtaining his private pilot’s license a few years ago at the age of seventy. Bob was an eternal optimist and a vibrant encourager. He loved life, and he looked forward to the surprises of each day and to the warmth of his relationships with his friends and coworkers. He never lost the same passion for living that had been with him since his youth. He was special, and he will be greatly missed. |
