Donald B. Warner

Softly in the morning, you heard a gentle call, you took the hand God offered you and quietly left us all..... Surrounded by his family and those that meant the world to him, Donald B. Warner, 76, of Owego passed away on Sunday, May 31, 2020. Don was born in Nichols, NY on August 2, 1943 and was a graduate of Owego Free Academy class of 1961. On November 6, 1964 he married the love of his life Linda Allis ~ together they have shared sixty-two years of happiness and making wonderful memories. Don was a Lifetime member of the Owego Fire Department where he proudly served as Chief and Squad Captain. He also was a lifetime member of the Sons of American Legion Post 401. Many will remember Don for his caring ways and always making sure community children had a bicycle to ride. He was thought to be the neighborhood mechanic and was known to be able to fix anything. Don would often state "the only thing I can't fix is a broken heart" Fond family memories will always be cherished at the cottage in Canada ~ for over twenty years, Don and Linda enjoyed spending time away at their second home. Although your smile is gone forever and your hands we cannot touch, we still have so many memories of the one we loved so much. Don will be missed by his loving wife Linda; his son and daughter-in-law: David and Loretta Warner of Texas; their children: Scott, Charley, CJ, Tony and Trevor; Don's great grandchildren: Christian, Corey, Mason, Sean, Zachary, Harper and Dylan.
