Dear Pauline &Family So sorry to read of Warrens passing I always enjoyed our chats when he came into the shop Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time Betty & Noel Sinclair

Warren certainly made a great impression on so much of what happened on the Club of SSME over the past 40 years - with his work on the GLTS, and his input and models of the NZ S-scale Arauatu layout, - as well as his British 00-Scale layout at home. He was also a good bus driver. We will miss talking and working with him at the club and at other outings we combined at. For Pauline and the families of Warren, we wish your best condolences after missing him.

Barrie and Jennifer Sinclair

So sorry to read of Warren's passing. I have many good memories of outings with the Jones family. Warren learning to drive in GranPa's Austin car, I do not think the MOT would care to know about that. Long bike rides in the holidays. Warren all ways was the leader. Our deepest thoughts are with Pauline and family, Anthony and family.

Warren, You were an influential part of my childhood and young adult life, always interested in what I was up to with school, model railways, getting my drivers licence and much more. I have fond memories of spending time with you and other like-minded members of the SSME (particularly the bus tour to Kingston, and the other to Ranfurly). I will treasure our chats and the memories of more recent years at the Model Train show in Invercargill. Pauline and family, please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Warren was special to us all. Rest in peace my friend.

On behalf of the members of the SSME I wish to pass on our deepest sympathies for your loss. Warren will be remembered for the many great things he done for our club, including growing the Great Little Train Show into the major attraction that it has become, creating fond memories for the generations of people who have attended. His continued involvement was extensive, never losing interest in club activities, even to the extent of submitting his apology to our 2025 AGM, just before his passing. He will be greatly missed.
