Warren Goorno, M.D., beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend, passed on April 7, 2024, at the age of 89. Warren’s passing leaves a void in the lives of all who knew him. We will miss his acceptance, love, and humor.
Born on December 26, 1934, in Cambridge, Warren was the son of Eunice and Harold Goorno. He graduated from Brookline High School and went on to graduate from the Mass College of Pharmacy. Warren then decided he wanted to become a physician, so he completed his B.A. degree from Tufts University and then his M.D., graduating cum laude from Tufts Medical School. Warren obtained his residency in Internal Medicine from the New England Medical Center, as well as a fellowship in Nephrology from Southwestern Medical School.
After two years as a captain and chief of medicine at Otis Air Force Base, Warren started his professional career as a solo family practitioner in Concord, where he spent his entire career. Whether working as an independent physician or as the managing and founding partner of the Concord Medical Group and later Concord-Hillside Medical Associates, Warren approached his work with dedication and compassion for his patients.
Warren will be remembered most for his devotion to his family. He was a loving husband, father, father-in-law, and “papa.” Warren’s family was the center of his world, and he was always available to attend their sports games and performances, and discuss science and history or the last great book he read.
Warren had many hobbies, but most enjoyed historical novels, movies, skiing, and golf at the Concord Country Club. He particularly enjoyed sharing his passions with others.
Warren is survived by his wife, Nancy Brenner Goorno of Concord, his three sons and their wives, Eric and Jennifer of Concord, Andrew and Yonina of Concord, and Daniel and Lauren of Acton, and his seven grandchildren: Jake, Zack, Gretta, Ben, Matt, Sofia, and Sam.
A funeral service to honor and celebrate Warren’s life will be held at Kerem Shalom, 659 Elm Street, Concord, on Friday, April 12 at 11 a.m., followed by burial at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in his memory to the American Hearing Research Foundation.
Warren will be deeply missed but never forgotten. May he rest in peace, knowing that he was loved beyond measure.
