He grew up in the Clay Center area, attending the schools and was in the high school class of 1953. Warren served his country in the United States Army during the Korean War period, being stationed in Germany with the 1st Division. He was always proud that his father and all five of his brothers were also in the service. Warren was a life member of the V.F.W. and the American Legion. After completing his service time, he returned to Clay Center where he met the next door neighbor girl that was to become the love of his life and best friend. Warren and Barbara Forkner were married January 17, 1959 at the First Baptist Church in Clay Center. The early years of marriage were spent farming near Clifton, Kansas on the family farm. He left the farm to attend Fort Hays State College where he obtained a B.S. in Business Administration. While attending college, he was a charter member of the business fraternity, Phi Beta Lambda.
