In 1951, following his marriage to Marion Graham on June 16, they purchased land in Ashfield where they raised beef cattle and cash cropped. In 1969 they sold their 400 acres and moved to a home south of Belfast. At this time Warren obtained his Real Estate license and carried on to sell many properties in the area. In 1984 they built a home south of Lucknow where they lived until moving to Sepoy Manner in Lucknow in 2013. After Marion’s passing, he resided at Pinecrest. Warren was active in church and community affairs. He attended Crewe, Blake and Trinity United Churches, where he was a member of Session. Warren was on the Board of Directors of the Lucknow District Co-operative for 12 years. In 1968 he became a member of the Ashfield council and served as Reeve from 1974 to 1982. He was a member of Huron County Council from 1973 to 1982. His interest in local agriculture lead him to volunteer with the Lucknow Agricultural Society. Warren's passion for farming never ended as he assisted his son Terry on the farm well into his 80's.
