Robert L. "Bob" Warwick

Obituary Date: Sunday, March 6, 2011
Robert L. "Bob" Warwick, 72, of Dawsonville passed away Sunday March 6, 2011 at Northeast Georgia Medical Center following a short illness.

Born July 24, 1938 in Poughkeepsie, NY to the late Harry and Ruth Warwick, he had lived in Dawson County for 16 years. He had previously lived in Spartanburg, SC and Stone Mountain. Mr. Warwick was a graduate of the Peekskille Military Academy in New York and served in the U. S. Navy from 1959 until 1963. He served as an Aviation Electricians Mate at Jacksonville, FL and was involved in the recovery of the first manned space craft. He retired as a Technical Consultant in the graphics and arts field after 30 years of service. Bob loved his part-time job at Black & Decker outlet store at the mall where he was known to baby sit husbands of shopping wives. His humor and permanent smile endeared him to all and he never met a stranger. He possessed a love for the beach, deep-sea fishing, the Tennessee Vols, family, social gatherings, I-Hop and the Waffle House. Mr. Warwick was a member of the First Baptist Church of Dawsonville and most of all he loved the Lord and never passed up an opportunity to witness that fact. He was also preceded in death by his mother in law, Janis L. Peters; sister, Ruth Nelson; and brother, Harry T. "Bud" Warwick.

Surviving are his wife of 48 years, Connie Warwick, Dawsonville; sons and daughters in love, Rob and Angie Warwick, Walland, TN, Ray and Brenda Warwick, White Plains, GA; one grandson, five granddaughters, two young ladies he affectionately called his "adopted daughters", a brother in law, sister in law and nephew of Suwanee, GA.

Memorial services will be held Sunday March 13, 2011 at 2 o'clock at the First Baptist Church of Dawsonville. Dr. Jim Gaines will officiate.

In lieu of flowers love gifts may be made to the First Baptist Church of Dawsonville, P. O. Box 1358, Dawsonville, GA.
