To Mrs Warenko, Doug, Ken, Don, Keith, We are very saddened to hear of your great loss. Mr Warenko was truly one of a kind and well known in our little burg of Brooklands. We send our love to you all as you face this difficult task and know that THE MANDRYKS-JOHN, DIANNE AND DALE all have such beautiful fond memories of any visits to the Warenko home or meeting in public places as there was always a good conversation started up and much laughter shared. Pls take care of each other as you go through this difficult time. He will be greatly missed and driving past the house will give us all a twinge in our heart to say someone is missing!!!!! Love JOHN, DIANNE AND DALE MANDRYK XO XO XO - Posted by: Dianne Mandryk Spry (Family Friend) on: Feb 28, 2017

Maxine,Doug,Ken,Don,Keith and Families: Please accept our deepest sympathies on the loss of your husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Pete, the patriarch of the Warenko Clan, was a great family man and always made company feel welcome. I still marvel at his tremendous mechanical abilities and the small engines he fabricated in his workshop. No visit with Pete was complete without checking out his latest project in his shop. Of course a libation or two and conversations with much laughter also happened at such visits. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
