Obituary
KAUFMAN, Warren H. of Saginaw Township, Michigan, passed away on Saturday, May 9, 2015 at his home, surrounded by his family, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 60 years old. Warren H. Kaufman was born on July 17, 1954 in Akron, Ohio to the late Warren and Ann (Zieman) Kaufman. He married Pamela J. McIntyre on April 19, 1974; she survives him. Warren graduated from Swan Valley High School with the Class of 1972. He was then employed at Dow Chemical for 34 years until his retirement. He worked very hard to take care of his family. He enjoyed boating, fishing, working on cars, woodworking, and hanging out with his brother, Alan at the airport. Warren loved nothing more than his family; his grandchildren were his pride and joy.

Warren was preceded in death by his parents and his father- and mother-in-law, Joseph and Barbara McIntyre.

I remember meeting Warren and the rest of the Kaufman Family in 1972 when I was just a teen. Warren you will be missed by so many wonderful people, your family and friends. I feel in my heart such a sorrow for those whose life you shared and brought into this world after your passing. God Bless your Family!

My Uncle Warren was a terrific husband, dad, and grandfather. My Aunt Pammy was the love of his life. He adored his daughters Kerri and Kelly. He was one of the most proud grandpa's I have ever known. He worked hard at his job to provide a good life for his family even when it meant missing out on birthday parties or family get-togethers. My Uncle Warren was a part of my life for 43 years and during that time I watched him love his family and love my Aunt Pammy in a way that helped me know exactly what I wanted in a husband and dad for my children. I want to thank my Uncle Warren for being such an inspiration to me and many others in his battle against cancer. He fought hard even when things were difficult. I hope his fight will remind all of us that life is too short to waste even one minute being angry at someone, being stressed from working too much, or being glued to your technology instead of your family. Aunt Pammy, Kerri and family, and Kelly and family, know that I am here for you if you need anything. I love you all!
