Guntersville, AL Thursday, September 29, 2016 Sharon and family. I am saddened to learn of C.E. passing away. I remember him from school days and later. He was a hard working and kind man and always took time to greet you. C. E. was one of those unique individuals that could only come from Warren and although he did not live there in his later years, he was as uniquely Warren as they come. May the grace of the Lord lift you up in celebration of a life well lived. May the peace be with you during this time of your loss.The community is diminished by his loss.Mike Lonsberry
