September 25, 1926 — February 13, 2016
Warren Oscar Herminghausen. Born 9/25/1926, passed away quietly at his home surrounded by family on Saturday, 2/13.
Survived by his wife of 27 years Laurel, 4 "unusual children" Leslie Harris (Tommie), Eric (Mary Donnell), Kurt, and Steve (Georgia Blum), grandchildren Kristen Davidson, J.J. Tiemeyer, Ananda Harris, and faithful companion Abbie. Many thanks in his last months to Faith, "the woman who lives down the hall." Preceded in death by his wife of 39 years Mary (Jones) and brother Richard Karl.
Born in Cincinnati to Oscar Joseph Herminghausen and Kathryn Elaine (Goelz), Warren's formative years were split between Long Island and Cincinnati. Warren began his adult life playing in big bands around the Midwest, graduated from Indiana University, and had a successful career in journalism and advertising, volunteering his services to many worthwhile community projects and coining memorable phrases such as "Warm and Cheerful Centerville."
An avid bicycle rider, tennis player, and jazz trumpeter, he enjoyed spending time with family, friends and his beloved golden retrievers.
Family and friends will gather from 11:30-4:30 on Friday, 2/19 at the Miami Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. A remembrance service will begin at 12:30, followed by a reception.
In lieu of flowers, please consider contributing to Crossroads Hospice, Indiana University, Rails to Trails, or planting trees or tulip bulbs.
Remember to root for the Hoosiers.
