Warren will be greatly missed by his beloved wife Betty of 67 years, along with their three children Raymond, Douglas (Bev), Bonita (Wayne) and foster son Dennis Sawchuk. Warren's family was the most important part of his life and they all held a special place in his heart. His grandchildren are Shanna (Mark), Kim, Jason (Lucy), Chelsea (Chris), Nicole, Kirstin (Stephen), Whitney (Mark), as well as foster grandchildren Jennifer and Alex Sawchuk. He also leaves behind 11 great-grandchildren Dustyn, Kaitlyn, Paetan, James R, Liberty, James M, Oliver, Justyce, Madison, and newborn twins Knox and Eddy. Warren was never happier than he was when he was surrounded by his family as well as Paulette, nieces, nephews, neighbours, and many friends. Warren was "adopted Grandpa" to one and all who loved him dearly. Warren was born, September 16, 1921 in Sidney, MB, this is where he grew up and received his education. During the Second World War, he joined the Canadian Forces and served overseas as a Wireless Air Gunner. After his return in 1945, he married Betty Maple and the first 16 years of their marriage he worked for the Manitoba Forestry Service. They then moved to Stony Mountain where he became a corrections officer at the Stony Mountain Penitentiary until his retirement in 1981. In 1991, Warren and Betty moved back to the Ruth homestead in Sidney, MB. Round dancing, square dancing, old time dancing and being active Church members (28 years at Stony Mountain Christ Church) with the last 21 years at the Austin Anglican Church, is what this active couple did together; this is where they met many special friends. Warren was also a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Stony Mountain and Portage branches. A Memorial Service will be held at Christ Church, in Austin, MB on July 31, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. with Father Shane Bengry officiating. A reception will follow at the community hall in his hometown of Sidney, MB.

I have fond memories of Warren, tall and larger than life, with his high leather boots laced up to just under his knees. I was a young, first year forestry student working for Harry Laws on his forest inventory crew in the Belair Forest Reserve. Warren was the forest ranger for the area and really impressed me. Harry made arrangements that we take our meals at the Ruth's and Betty's cooking was super. Her sandwiches in our bag lunches were great! Just what hungry young guys needed at lunch time. They were a great friendly couple and always made us welcome in their home at Stead! My best wishes go out to Betty and the family. Good people like Warren and Betty are not forgotten. - Posted by: David Rannard (Acquaintance) on: Jul 29, 2013

Uncle Warren The last of my mom's family, Uncle Warren will be remembered as the uncle that had a special place in the hearts of us all. We visited Stony Mountain many times in my youth. His stories and our love of nature helped me to appreciate the wilderness. Our family upbringing will forever be important. Times spent in Sydney in the early years and in the later years are special. Uncle Warren's time spent with the forestry offered many stories of times that helped lead myself in a career with forestry and conservation, now my son is the third generation of family to appreciate nature. Thanks uncle we will always remember you. - Posted by: Rick Cline (Warren is my Uncle) on: Jul 29, 2013
