Warren "Buddy" grew up as a farm boy, but at the age of sixteen, ventured out into the world to start his own life. He always said he wanted to run heavy equipment for a living. After a few odd jobs as a young man he ended up working for RA Boyer, of Newark DE, for 40 plus years. He started as a laborer then moved to being a mechanic, then to equipment operator. In his later years moved to position of foreman. After his 40 plus year career with RA Boyer, he again worked as an equipment operator (his true love) with James Julian (JJID) and Daisy Construction. He finished out his life as a retiree and driving “Old Blue” a Mack dump truck for himself. Still enjoying sunrises and sunsets through a windshield.

​

He is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Nancy S McNatt. His Son Warren Donald McNatt, Johnny H Williams and Nickolas, his beloved cat. He will be missed and remembered for his smile, commitment to his wife, and passion for life with family and Nickolas, his cat.

​

Rest in peace, loving husband and father.
