Warren Lee Case

Warren Lee Case, passed at the age of 84 in Albany, Oregon on Sunday, April 3, 2022, at 10:30 AM at his residence.

Warren was born in Glendale, California, to Glen and Hester Johnson Case.  He graduated from Glendale High School and joined the US Air Force from 1955-1959 with a rank of an Airman, 2nd Class.  He then pursued his higher education and studied dentistry at OSU and PSU. 

He did self study to get his general contractors license, did cabinetry and was a general contractor, and he always worked with his dad Glen building lots of homes - all kinds of fancy residential and commercial construction projects around Albany and Los Angeles areas.  He always whistled through his teeth while he worked.

He was known for building one of the first residential tv satellite dishes. 

He used to have his own plane and had a pilot’s license in his late 20s early 30s.  He liked airplanes so much which made sense why his favorite movie was “Airplane!”

He was also a tinkerer and liked working on cars as a hobby and liked listening to talk radio.

Warren is survived by wife Mercy Case, married on March 18, 2002; Norma Case (married in 1964); son Alan and wife Adrienne Lorimor-Case; daughter Casey Parker; stepdaughter Jules Anne; sister Margaret Carter; two younger brothers Raymond and wife Roseann Case, David and wife Debbie Case; and nine grandchildren.
