Richard Warner (Mike's father) died last week. He taught college in New York and in Memphis, Tennessee, before he and his wife Barbara moved to Paducah, Kentucky. He will be buried tomorrow in Janesville, Wisconsin, where they grew up. Mike has posted a tribute to his dad.
Janesville is a small city in southern Wisconsin. According to its Wikipedia entry and the Janesville Convention and Visitors Bureau, twenty percent of Wisconsin's buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places can be found in Janesville, which was founded in 1836.
Janesville boasts a huge General Motors assembly plant on the south side of town, overlooking the Rock River. According to a GM press release, on August 23, 2005, the facility produced its 16 millionth vehicle (since 1923). At the time, it made the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali, Yukon Denali XL and Isuzu/GM Low Cab Forward medium-duty truck.
Mr. and Mrs. Warner have four children (three of them married) and one grandchild. We pray that God will bring the Warner family peace and comfort at this difficult time.

Thanks for this, Jeffrey -- and Mom was grateful to get the cards from you all, Keith/Molly, and your parents.
The actual church where the funeral was held is in that National Registry of Historic places, by the way. Mom and Dad got married there.
