Warren F. Munson died September 10, 2008 after a brief illness.
Born February 21, 1917 to Laura Verroneau Munson and Daniel Munson in Pittsfield, MA he is a graduate of Pittsfield High School and Wilbraham Academy. As one of the early graduates of General Electric's Financial Management Program, Warren worked his entire career in a variety of financial management positions and retired after 32 years.
While in Pittsfield, he met and married Janet Boldyga on October 18, 1942 and had three sons: Michael, Peter, and Daniel. She preceded him in death on April 1, 1980.
With a great sense of humor, he approached life with a smile that lit up a room. He had a knack for story telling recalling the smallest details to bring even more color to his stories. As an avid golfer he achieved one of golf's finest moments with a hole-in-one.
Before retiring permanently in Sarasota FL, he met and married Dona Chase-Drysdale with whom he celebrated a happy 24-year marriage.
Preceding Warren in death in addition to his wife, Janet, are his parents, and sister Marguerite Helfrich.
