Just spent a few hours reading Warren's (Early S Man) posts...
Ive been on this site for 10 years and there was no one like him.
Search on his user name, Early S Man, go to Statistics, and then Find all posts from this user. And then get a cup of coffee and be prepared to be amazed at the detail, the span of his knowledge, and the willingness to help us mere mortals. Thanks Warren. And thanks to Wayne for preserving his voice through this site. Such knowledge should not be lost.

So true. I deeply appreciate the fact his words will always be available on Pelican.
I plan on getting another MFI 911 eventually and when I get stuck ( you know I will  ) Warren will make sense of my bumbling.I do miss him.

Been there done that. Took a couple of cups (i'm a slow reader)
I love the ones that gone on for a few pages before he steps in and spells it out for them. Almost like he waited to see if they could figure it out on there own.

I miss Warren every day.
Wayne is the most important figure in the development of this community. Warren takes second place easily, in my view. Great man. I wish I could have met him. I wish a number of things.

Yup, the last few weeks of his life was a blur. Miss him.

Its hard to believe he has been gone for four years. Sigh
I never met him, but he chimed in on a couple of issues that fixed my ignorance of these fine automobiles. There are a bunch of others that are in Warren's class. Just fine men and women who have made a HUGE difference in my appreciation of the machine and the community!

Warren helped me more times than I can count. He even called me at home and walked me (very patiently) through a few wiring issues. I really miss him and a few others who have passed in the 10 years I've had the privilege to be on this forum.

There was a Pelican that put together a help fund for his family. Thank you.
That could be a %/$$ "donate now" sticky button on the order site if needed. RIP Warren(aka the rumble of thunder). |
