Robert Warren

Robert David Herbert Warren of Black Shadow Creek farm, Holstein, Ontario, passed away at home after a short illness, on January 26, 2014. He was born May17, 1941 in Mimico Ontario, the only son of Herbert and Marjorie Warren (nee Thom), beloved husband of Dinah Christie and brother of Janet Hudson (Bill) and Eleanor Fletcher (Allan). As a loving Uncle to Karen Hudson(Tim Fyfe) , Paul Hudson (Arleigh), Mark Fletcher (Caroline), Christine Fletcher and to Great-Nieces and Nephew, Megan and Hannah Fyfe, Amanda and Melissa Hudson and Jackie, Harrison and Raphaelle Fletcher, he will be greatly missed. He grew up in Lachine QC., where he attended elementary school, graduated from Lachine High School in1958, and went on to attend Sir George Williams University in Montreal. It seemed that he could accomplish almost any task that he embarked upon, and was self taught in many areas. Countless are the cars that were brought back to life in the driveway in Lachine. He spent most of his working life as a photographer on assignments that took him all over the world. His clients have been Air Canada, Bell Telephone, British Tourist Authority, Canadian National Railways, The Brier, The Broom, Canadian Olympic Association and Contemporary Daguerreotype, Toronto. His final creation was his company, Black Shadow Yachts, and after designing and finishing out the glorious 48__ steel hulled cutter, Cambriol, he spent many hours meticulously working on his own 45__ sailboat. She is a shining example of his detailed craftsmanship, but sadly the progression of his Parkinson__s Disease did not allow him to realize his dream of finally completing and sailing her around the world.
Fair winds, Bobby
