  Warren was born on Oct. 21, 1923, in Glasgow, to Grover and Stella (Wingard) Taylor. He was raised in Glasgow, attending school there. After his school years, he worked as a farm and ranch hand, often riding several miles on horseback. He enlisted in the Air Force Oct. 27, 1942, at Butte, Mont., to serve his country during World War II.  He was honorably discharged in 1944, and returned to work on the Fort Peck Dam. He also worked as a gandy dancer, working his way up to engineer for the Great Northern Railroad.  Warren married Geraldine Albertson in Havre on May 12, 1950, and the couple made their home in Havre, where they raised their three children. Warren also spent a few years managing the Bear Paw Ski Bowl south of Havre.

Warren enjoyed hunting, fishing, skiing, boating and playing pinochle, cribbage and dominoes. He was a woodworker, making bases for Jim Pasma bronzes, benches and repairing antiques. However, his favorite pastime was spending time with his family, especially in outdoor activities. One of his accomplishments was hand building a cabin in Glacier Park with Bud and his father-in-law.

  Warren was preceded in death by his parents, Grover and Estella Mae Taylor; his son, Gary Taylor; his sister, Georgia Mae Taylor (Teichrow); and his brothers, James, Robert, Ralph, Charles “Glen,” and Muncie Jr. Taylor.

He is survived by

his wife, Geraldine Taylor of Havre; his son, Roger (Carol) Taylor of San Leandro, Calif .; his daughter, Darla Taylor of Sunburst, Mont .; his daughter-in-law, Nancy Sprague-Taylor of Washington; his eight grandchildren; his 14 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
