Warner was always active in the Presbyterian Church and most recently attended First Presbyterian Church of Pittsford. He loved the outdoors from hunting and fishing to camping and canoeing, which included numerous trips to the Adirondacks. Warner instilled a passion of outdoor adventures that continues to live on with his children and grandchildren. He also played a lot of golf and participated in many work leagues. He spent as much time as he could with his grandchildren, including several trips to Sanibel Island with them walking the beaches and enjoying the time together.
