I worked for Warren Schaub as his secretary (and also for the 8 men in his department) at AT&T, 195 Broadway, NY, from February 1972 until mid 1973 when he was transferred back to New Jersey Bell.
I was 18 years old, he was my first boss after being promoted from the Steno Pool, and I truly enjoyed working for him. He had a great personality, was easy to get along with and was a good boss.
Everyone liked him, and he was usually in a good mood, making our office a nice place to be. I "reconnected" with him in Sept. 2007 when I saw his wife's obituary in the Record and realized she was Mr. Schaub's (that's how I knew him!) wife.
I sent a letter and explained who I was, and gave him my telephone number. I was happy to receive a phone call from him a few days later. He and I talked about our days working together and our co-workers, as well as about his family and mine, for about an hour. It was great to do so, and he sent me photographs of he and his beloved family a couple of weeks later. I spoke to him once after that, and unfortunately did not get a chance to call him again.
I am sorry of his passing.......it is great that he and his wife had such a long, happy marriage. He talked to me about how much he missed her. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the viewing and am finally getting around to leaving a memorial.
