Obituary of William Warren
With sadness we announce the passing of our husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend on April 18th. Born on February 5th, 1934 in New Perlican, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland, he was a son of the late William J. and Mary E. (Northover) Warren.
At age 17, Bill received a scholarship to Memorial College which started his teaching career. It began at Bay of Islands, NL. He also taught for several years at the East St. Margaret’s School, Indian Harbour, NS. Bill was principal of Tantallon Elementary School upon its opening in 1975 to 1983 and later retired from teaching at East St. Margaret’s.
He is survived by his loving “first wife“ of 57 years, Beatrice (Dykens); sons, Larry (Coreen), Jeff, Michael (Charlene); grandchildren, Alison (Mike), Ben, Cole, Ryan, Devin, John Michael; great-grandson, Casey.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by sisters, Leah (Bill), Alma (Jim); brother, Peter (Olive, Irene).
Special thanks to our family members for all their support as well as the staff at the Hants Community Hospital.
