Loving husband, father, grandfather & great grandfather. John passed away peacefully Tuesday June 15. Born to Linda and Walter Warren in Bement, IL and was the sixth of ten children in the family. He spent his early married years on the North Shore and then the majority of his life in Duluth on Jay Street until his recent move to Maple Grove, MN in 2020.
Upon graduating from high school, he entered the US Air Force on 11/7/50 and served until receiving an honorable discharge on 11/6/54 with the rank of Staff Sergeant. His last assignment was for the 756th AC&W Squadron in Finland, MN. It was during this time he met the love of his life, Marilyn, at a USO dance. From that dance, to their wedding on October 6, 1956 they were inseparable for nearly 65 years.

Donations
DECC donated over four thousand pounds of food to CHUM. Pictured are (l to r): Steve Rankila, DECC; Jake Magdzas, DECC; Scott Van Daele, CHUM; and Roger Reinert, DECC.
CHUM received 4,186 pounds of frozen food from the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center. Ensuring spaces within the DECC complex are ready for activity is a critical step as the DECC prepares for an increase in events. Clearing the freezers of older inventory is one step in that process. The food was maintained properly, but is nearing expiration dates. Since it s not usable by the DECC, they donated it to help others.
