Thank you for visiting this memorial page honoring those who either graduated or would have graduated from Granger High School in 1965. We are honoring as many former classmates as we can find who have passed on. They were our friends, associates, teammates and, in some cases, our lifelong partners and companions. We also honor our veterans and those gallant young men who gave their all, in defense of the country they loved so much. To our MIA, James Schiele, we will never forget you and will continue to look forward to the day your remains are returned to the land of the free, the home of the brave.

Thanks to everyone who helped in the development of this memorial page, especially Diane Day Cooper, who would have graduated a Lancer were it not for her parents relocating their family in 1960. Without her, this would not have been possible. Thom Rich

Warren Fox


Warren Nyle Fox was born on June 28, 1947 in Murray, UT to Nyle Reo and Hallie Vera Harker Fox, the oldest of three children followed by Wren and Wendy.  

Warren served four years as an artillery gunner in the United States Marine Corps, which included a tour in Vietnam, and was a member of the Reserves for years after that.  Upon discharge, he became an iron worker, but decided to change professions after breaking his leg.  Warren spent the remainder of his years before retirement employed as a construction inspector, traveling to many states and the US Virgin Islands.  Sandra Hoberg caught his eye on one of those assignments in Lake County, CA and the two fell in love at first sight.  Over the years they enjoyed traveling to his inspecting jobs away from home.  Sandy relayed that they were “insane about each other”.  Warren loved fishing, hunting and taxidermy, spending many hours in pursuit of those hobbies. 

Fleeing the Valley Fire in Lake County, CA, that began September 12, 2015, Warren suffered his first heart attack.  His and Sandy’s home was spared, but all others belonging to Sandy’s family members were lost.  That set in motion the change in his health that would eventually claim his life on August 14, 2020 in Cobb, CA, where he and Sandy made their home, 75 miles north of San Francisco. 

Warren is survived by Sandy, his beloved wife of 33 years, and sons Eric (Jamie), Andrew (Jessica), Matthew, stepson Joseph and five grandchildren, plus his brother and sister.  As with thousands of others, Covid-19 restrictions prevented the family from holding a funeral for Warren, well-loved husband, father, grandfather and brother.
