He was a proud and devoted Papa to his grandchildren Natalia, Noah, Dhario, Rallo, Ivy and Calista. He will be missed by his extended family in Ontario, Newfoundland and the United States and will be remembered fondly by many dear friends and colleagues.

Warren lived an interesting and full life. He enjoyed telling stories about his home in Newfoundland and all of his life experiences and adventures. While working in New York for Trans Canada Airlines, he was drafted into the US army and served for 2 years in Oklahoma 1963-1965. In 1973-1974, Warren helped to build a ski chalet in Quebec and over the years enjoyed skiing at various mountains in Canada, Vermont, and in Europe. He was a keen hockey player and participated in several half marathons. He retired from Air Canada after 42 ½ years and traveled to many countries throughout his lifetime.

Warren loved sailing and won several racing awards. He had many adventures cruising down to the Bahamas, Quebec City, through three of the Great Lakes and along the North Channel. Notably, he was a founding member and a Commodore at Lakeshore Yacht Club. He attended and supported his children and grandchildren at their sporting events and various activities, along with coaching a hockey team. Warren enjoyed working on cars and was a “jack of all trades” around his home. Warren enjoyed playing his guitars and singing. He was well read, and you would often find a book in his hand.

Warren will be remembered by many for his passion of driving & owning sports cars, for his love of the Toronto Maple Leaf’s, his “beloved” New York Giants, his enthusiasm for Formula 1 races and for having a never ending repertoire of interesting stories for all of life’s circumstances.
