- WARREN STEWART BROWN, P.ENG.,
Warren passed away on May 16, 2021, predeceased by his wife Janet (nee Bertram), and his sister Kay Dills. He is survived by his loving family: his daughters, Carolyn (Jim Rupert), and Nancy (Brian Morrow); his grandchildren Elizabeth and Peter. Warren was born on June 19, 1931 in Toronto and named for his uncle who had died in Flanders in WWI. He graduated in Electrical Engineering at the University of Toronto in 1953, where he met his beloved Janet. Upon graduation, Warren joined Canadian General Electric, Peterborough, at the dawn of nuclear power, as a controls design engineer. He worked on a wide variety of challenges and interacted with, and supported design teams at Canada's first nuclear power station, NPD Chalk River, at Rolphton, Ontario, the International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, the National Energy Board, and the parent company in Schenectady, NY. In the early 1970's, Warren accepted a senior position at the consulting company Dilworth, Secord and Meagher Associates, which inevitably led to Warren starting his own firm in 1978 as the senior partner with four friends ? Monserco in Mississauga, ON. Monserco grew and expanded and started Warren on a series of start-ups that he continued throughout his later years. Following his 'retirement' in 1997, Warren joined the Smart Systems for Health Program Management Team establishing the foundation for digital health in Ontario. Warren also became very active in keeping his classmates of '5T3' in touch and in 2013 the U of T Alumni Association presented him with their Arbor Award for volunteerism. A large part of Warren's life was his family, often enjoying time at the cottage he built on Lake Bernard, Sundridge, ON. For hours on end, Warren was seen out searching for wind on his sailboat, or helping Janet locate a lake trout hot spot. Warren also actively supported Janet in her retirement project of researching the Bertram family history, reconnecting with relatives and supporting the Dundas Museum. Muscle decline from inclusion-body myositis slowed Warren's movement but did not diminish his social nature and enjoyment of friends and family. He was a good friend, a proud father and grandfather and will be greatly missed. A memorial service will be announced in the coming days on https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/10195793 Flowers gratefully declined. If desired, a contribution to Myositis Canada is suggested.
