Albert Leslie Warren

June 9^th, 1964-June 9^th, 2021

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Albert Warren (Bert) of Chapel Arm Age 57. Bert is predeceased by his mother and father (Frances and William Warren) and three of his best buddies, Darren Warren, Tommy Reid, and Oral Newhook.

Forever remembered and dearly loved by wife and best friend of 37 years Suz, daughter Lisa, son Craig, daughter in-law Candace and two beautiful granddaughters Claire his diamond and Allison his treasure. Brother Ken (Lori), Sister Kay (Joe) sister in-law Lorelei (John) and mother and father in-law Vinnie and Norm Thorne.  Nieces and Nephews Liz (Kenny), Steve (Melissa), Cory (Jessica), Izzie, Sydney, Makenzie, Braedon, Ella, Scott, and Freya.  A special mention to Jim and Helen Griffin who became a big part of his family.  Bert was a loving husband, father, father in-law, grandfather, brother, and uncle.  He was loved and respected by all who were blessed to know him.

Bert grew up in Chapel Arm where he met and married his soul mate and buddy at the young age of 17. Soon after they started their family and had two children who he dedicated his life to.  He passed on his life for the outdoors to Craig and Lisa, always taking them fishing, hunting for moose and rabbits, skidoo runs in the woods or down the track.  Bert was a phenomenal operator learning from his own father’s construction company.  He passed on his skill and passion of the trade to his son who will be quick to tell you that he learned from the very best.  Throughout his career, Bert made many friends that always kept in contact with him and if you ask them, they’d all say that any day on the job with Bert was a good one. 

Bert had a significant number of friends who loved to gather around in the garage for a drink of rum and a feed of deep-fried fish.  He made THE best deep-fried fish you’ve ever tasted!! Bert and Suz spent many weekends down the track at their trailer and if you ever drove by you were always welcomed by that smiling face, we all know so well.  

And finally, the light in Bert’s life his two granddaughters Claire and Allison.  Bert had many roles in his life but becoming a grandfather was his greatest blessing.  From trips down the track for sleepovers, snuggled into poppy’s arms on the couch, and being there for every moment of their lives. There was nothing Poppy Bert didn’t or couldn’t do for his two girls, they had him wrapped around their finger and he loved them with all his heart.

“If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever”

“If Bert can’t fix it, it can’t be fixed”

What a Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong

[Verse 1]
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

[Verse 2]
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed days, the dark sacred nights
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

[Bridge]
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying, “I love you”

[Verse 3]
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more
Than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

HARNUM, William Robert  It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved family member, Robert Harnum, who passed away at his residence at the age of 78. Predeceased by his parents, Ralph and Nora Harnum and his beloved sister, Elizabeth (Betty) Williams. Left with cherished memories are his two nieces, Janice (Justin) Temple and Sharon (Cory) Coffin, brother-in-law, Wilfred Williams, as well as his two special great nieces, Nora and Kennedy, whom were his pride and joy and loved their “Uncle Bob.” Also left with cherished memories are a circle of other close friends and extended family.

Robert enjoyed and valued the simple pleasures life had to offer. Whether he was taking his special pup, Shadow (who he surely picked up at the Rainbow Bridge on his way home to Heaven) for an ice cream, taking his family to the Trinity Conception Bay Square for a run, enjoying a trip out in boat, or enjoying a visit and a BBQ with his family he embraced all these simple, precious moments. Robert dedicated his heart to his family and his home and chose to remain living in his family home the duration of his life until his final hours.

While our hearts grieve this profound loss we honor and cherish the memories that will continue to flourish in the hearts of those who had the privilege to receive the special gifts of love he unconditionally offered. His legacy will always be a testament of the love he unwavering provided. Robert was a private, simplistic man with a heart of gold who loved his family beyond measure. He was a man who did not travel far yet reached so many & taught us the most valuable lesson- that the only true currency in life of fundamental and eternal value is love & that the “little things” truly are the “big things.” We thank you Robert for all the “little”, “big” things. They are priceless and have blessed our hearts with a little more gold.

Cremation has taken place. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 and public health restrictions, celebration of life will take place at the Anglican Church, Dildo on Saturday, May 15, 2021 by invitation only.

“There is only one happiness in this life- to love and be loved.” While your life here on earth has ended the love you shared will always remain. Thank you for the gift of your love. We will treasure it always.
