Warren C. Metcalf was born in Seattle on January 12, 1931, and passed away in Bellingham on June 11, 2017.

Warren was born to Clarence and Bonnie Metcalf. He attended school in Bellingham, and graduated from Bellingham HS in 1949. He also studied at the University of Washington. Warren served in the U.S. Navy on a fleet oiler, during the Korean War. He married the love of his life, Darlene Burnham, on June 18, 1954. They were married almost 61 years, until Darlene passed away two years ago. Our dad loved his family, camping, being outdoors, visiting friends, and good food. Babies and puppies could always bring a smile to his face. He worked at AmFab as a young man until the plant closed. He worked for the City of Bellingham’s Street Department until he retired.
