For many years he bowled in the local bowling leagues. He and Delores liked to travel going on family vacations to Hayward, Wisconsin, wintering in Florida and bus trips, which often took him and “Dordy” to casinos.

He is survived by his two children, Judy Nicholas and her husband, Rick Federman, and James Nicholas; brother, Beryl Nicholas and nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife, two sons, Mark and Scott, his parents, sister Ruby Engelke and her husband, Paul, and brother, Walter “Buster” Nicholas and his wife, Marie.

Thinking of your family and the loss of a good man. Warren will be dearly missed. He and your mother were such very good friends to our parents. Now they can celebrate life together again and play lots of cards. Our deepest sympathy.

In memory of Warren, we were blessed when starting to work at Lands End with Warren. We thought we related so well with Warren being that we were farmers. Then Delores came into the picture and they both introduced us to some of our greatest fun, Senior dinners, bus trips and some car trips. As good of friends anyone could hope for. If anyone goes to heaven its got to be Warren and Delores. We will miss them.
