Warren Ove enjoys a moment with his daughter Megan.
Warren Ove was one of the kindest men I have known.
He always had a smile, a chuckle, a light in his eyes.
Over the years, as I saw him from across the counter at Videoville, whether he was perusing the movies or getting coffee from Miriam’s Espresso, Mr. Ove always took time to ask about my family.
He shared a devout faith with many of my relatives and was deeply committed to his ties as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
It had been quite some time since I attended that group’s meetings, but Mr. Ove was always warm and welcoming in his interactions with me.
He had a special way about him, and I was always glad to have a moment or two talking with him.
That carried over to his wife and children, who like Mr. Ove, reflect the best of what our community offers.
I offer my condolences to his family on his passing, but I also know a major part of his faith was his belief in a resurrection.
He will be remembered, and appreciated, by all who knew him.
