No Name

Warren J. Prentice, 78 , died at his summer home in Pittsfield on June 24, 2017.

He was born in New Berlin on September 6, 1938 to Harry and Winnifred Steere Prentice. He spent his childhood in the New Berlin area and attended and graduated from New Berlin Central School.

He married Theresa  McGrath  in Walterboro, South Carolina on December 15, 2005 where they live but always enjoyed their summer retreats on the Jack and Anna Reed homestead in the Town of Pittsfield.
Warren worked for many years as the Maintenance Coordinator at Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown. He also worked as a Department of Environment Conservation Officer and in his spare time loved to do carpentry projects. He was a volunteer at the Colleton Medical Center in Walterboro, South Caroline.
