Dr. Twiddy served the Town of Caledon for 48 years as a respected family physician. From a family-owned logging sawmill operation at Stockdale, Ont., he graduated from Queen's University, Kingston, Ont. in 1956. Following Dr. Twiddy's internship at the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital, he worked at a clinic in Orilla and then moved to his practice in Caledon East in 1957. Dr. Twiddy served three generations of people in the area and was well known for his many house calls and delivering a great number of babies. His practice was associated with the Dufferin Area Hospital, now known as the Headwaters Healthcare Centre.
He was an avid bridge player, a member of the Islington Sportsmen Club and thoroughly enjoyed many outdoor activities, particularly hunting, fishing and hiking. Special thanks to Andrea Penikis for her loving care of Warren. In remembrance of Warren, in lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Headwaters Health Care Foundation would be appreciated.
