Brother of singer/pianist Tom Waring.
Buried at Shawnee Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Shawnee-On-Delaware, Pennsylvania, USA.
Contrary to popular opinion, he did not invent the famous Waring Blender. He, through a company he set up, was the financial backer for the man who did. When that man went through the money he was advanced without having a fully developed product, Waring's company "foreclosed" on him and got the rights to the appliance. The company then completed and marketed the product under the "Waring" name, but Waring personally had nothing to do with the invention or development of it.
He was awarded 3 Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at at 6300 Hollywood Boulevard; for Radio at 6556 Hollywood Boulevard; and for Television at 1751 Vine Street in Hollywood, California.
