Obituary of William "Bill" Warwick

It is with great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of William (Bill) Albert Warwick at the age of 90 on Saturday November 16, 2024 at the Chatham-Kent Hospice.

 Predeceased by his beloved wife Joan (Chaput) Warwick (2001). Born in Harwich Township in 1933, son of late Jean (Pepper) and Gordon Warwick.

Loving father of Claudette Warwick (Garnet Dupuis) of Kingston and Elizabeth (Michael 2021) Emms of Chatham. Proud grandfather of Barbara Brant, Dr. Thohtharatye (Tewahsehtha) Brant,  Brandon (Laura) Emms, Timothy (Sarah) Brant, Danielle Emms, and 10 great-grandchildren. Bill was also survived by his brothers, Gary (Cathy) Larkin and Alex (Pam) Maxwell, as well as many nieces and nephews.

Predeceased by step-mother Mary Warwick, step-father George Larkin, brothers Ted Warwick and Bev Warwick and sister Linda McLean.

Bill was a hard worker and committed to many roles throughout his career, which included being a delivery driver for milk, Wonder Bread and Humpty Dumpty before finally retiring after 35 years driving buses. He loved lending a helping hand to all who needed it and enjoyed going for coffee and meeting up with his friends daily. His favorite way to pass time was playing bingo and watching wrestling. 

We would like to thank the dedicated staff at The Chatham Retirement Resort along with many of the residents who helped make Bill feel at home. Also for the staff and volunteers at the Chatham-Kent Hospice for their care of Bill in his final days and his family in this difficult time.

The family welcomes anyone who wished to express their condolences to attend public visitations at the Hinnegan-Peseski Funeral Home, 156 William St., S.
