“W.W.” Warner, 91, who died March 19, was a distinguished leader in the surety industry and a longtime friend of the NNA and America’s Notaries because of his work to protect them and the public through trusted and reliable surety services.
Mr. Warner served as Chairman Emeritus of Merchants Bonding Company of Des Moines, Iowa, one of the country’s largest underwriters of Notary bonds, including those for NNA members. During his 60-year career with Merchants, he also co-founded Nations Bonding Company in Austin, Texas, and served as President of Northern Casualty Company of Des Moines, Iowa, which specializes in surety bond reinsurance.
With his passing, Merchants Bonding Company is now managed by the fourth generation of the Warner Family.
