He nearly died from peritonitis in 1949 when about to sit for his final school exams. He and his parents thanked God and the local doctor, Dr. Glasson, who used penicillin for the first time in the hospital there, enabling his recovery.
Two years later, he entered a four-year training as a high school art teacher, commencing teaching in Sydney. The same year, he and Pam (Murphy) were married. Work led them to Newcastle for three years and then back to Sydney, where he worked part-time as well with Stanmore Missionary Press, in editing, layout, and illustration. By now they had two children, John and Susanne.
In 1961 they moved to Wollongong, after resigning from the education department, to assist Warwick’s parents in their Hardware Company, Graces of Fairymeadow. Two brothers had joined Wycliffe Bible Translators in Papua New Guinea. He managed the firm for twenty years, during which time Christine, the last of their three children, was born, and a university degree was completed. In 1982, the business was sold. Warwick took his father, Noel, to England, Wales, and Ireland to further their research into the story that Noel had commenced some years earlier. On their return, Warwick was invited to join a friend in his Staircase Joinery, where he was designing and estimating. In 1991, the Joinery almost closed, but he and Pam were both able to go with other church friends to the USA and UK in 1992 and again to the USA in 1994. He joined another friend in his local funeral company, where he regularly assisted and, as a hospital ward chaplain, began to conduct services.
Hobbies have included the completion of the historical novel and work on other studies, singing with their church choir, as well as a barbershop quartet and a local community men’s choir, the Arcadians Lamplighters. In 2006, he was asked to commence tutoring a free art class in the local Baptist church, where he had been an elder since 1977—an enjoyable return to his original vocation.ver menos
