What a wonderful Western Springs neighbor and friend Warren, as well as Aggie, were to us! Warren was always positive & joyful, cracking jokes & wise comments. He was a heartfelt friend to Chris and they enjoyed conversing. He was kind & always interested in updates regarding the children.
Warren was also a faithful Catholic. He was greatly devoted and in love with his beautiful wife. Aggie, we are so very sorry for your loss. Warren will be greatly missed by all who had the opportunity to know him. May he enjoy the fruits of his labor in heaven. May the peace of Christ fill your heart, Aggie.
As part of the above Minnesota Connection, our family was blessed to spend decades celebrating Christmas Eve with our dear friends, The Beutell’s and their Frolik relatives. Warren was such a kind and caring person! His story telling and sense of humor which always elicited so much laughter, was enjoyed by everyone! With only one day a year spent with them, it was obvious how much in love he was with Aggie, his childhood sweetheart! Now in his new heavenly home, may Warren enjoy eternal rest with his Lord, Jesus! Aggie, may you be comforted by all the sweet and loving memories you and Warren shared!
With love!

Warren was a devoted uncle to my sister in law, Beth. For many years he and Aggie would spend Christmas in Minnesota, celebrating with my brother Tim, Beth, Jackie, and Brett. His presence brought the assurance that Christmas would be a time of faith, family, fun, and tradition. I had the pleasure of seeing Warren many times over the years. He was a delightful addition to any gathering. He will be missed. Much love to Aggie during this difficult time.
Love and prayers from your long time Texas friend.
What a great guy. We met through St. John of the Cross and developed a close friendship. We often had breakfast together and I always looked forward to his many stories and his pride of completing his education at :Thee College of Hard Knocks’, and even wore a ‘class’ ring to prove it.
We never parted without a firm hug and a ‘take out’ breakfast for Aggie.
On behalf of Trader Joes LaGrange…a store Mr. Warren frequented…we would like to extend our most sincerest condolences to Mr. Warrens family on his passing. We always loved seeing him and will not soon forget his friendly demeanor, great sense of humor and continuing patronage. Rest in peace, our dear friend…our hearts are all very heavy.
My name is Karen and I work at Trader Joe’s. For years Warren would hang out at the Demo counter waiting for Aggie to get off work at Plymouth Place. He was a joke teller and would always have more than one for me. I heard about his family and he shared anecdotes about himself. He shared an idea from the early days of his business.
He decided to refer to the pens he sold as
“writing instruments ” and behold! they started to sell.
He became successful.
When Aggie retired they made it to the store often, together hanging out for a few minutes with anyone who stopped to say hello.
And we all did. We sincerely enjoyed his banter.
He positively impacted people. I will miss him.
Lifting him and his loved ones up in prayer🌺.
My Name is Chris and I am the Frolik’s insurance agent. Warren was one of the Nicest guys you could ever know. He will be missed, but I know he left a joyous effect on anyone that he met including me.
My deepest sympathies to Agnes and his family. Warren was a dear friend to my late father and our family. I truly cherish the time I spent with Warren. He was a kind soul full of love, laughter and thoughtful advice. I will always remember our conversations around the time of my father’s passing. I feel very blessed to say Warren was my friend. I know that you are with my Dad, Coach….and the rest of the Gents playing ship, captain and crew together. You will be greatly missed.
Mr Frolik was a great friend of my dad’s. I grew up thinking of him as an uncle! Wonderful memories of him and I dancing around the living room to a good ole polka.
