IN LOVING MEMORY
The Potato Industry bid farewell in June to a one of a kind industry professional.
Warren Henninger passed away surrounded by his family on May 23, 2020 after a head injury sustained due to a fall in his backyard. Warren's professional role as Charmian of Ag World Support Systems set him in the forefront of many leadership roles within the potato industry. Specifically for WSPF, it brought him to serve as a Board of Director for nearly a decade. While on our board, he advocated continually for volunteerism, industry support and programs bolstering the next generation of Ag Leaders.
Personally, we appreciate Warren for his warm greetings, kind approach and always being early to meetings. He was the first to offer a compliment, a kind word or be the first to make a donation to a fledgling program. Warren 'knew' everyone, not by name, but because he cared about spouses, family members, children--their health, their sports or how he could pray for them; he truly wanted to know how people were really doing.
Warren's pledge to serve others, passion for the potato industry, exceptionally kind, generous heart and love for his associates will be missed on our board and within the entire industry. Our condolences to his wife Judy, daughter, Melanie and sons Bryan and Craig .
He is a man that will be forever remembered---a man who was sincerely true to God, his family and the potato industry.
