I'm very sad to report that Dr. Charlie Warde, seriously one of my most favorite people in the world, passed away very early this morning from complications of pneumonia. He had a stroke back on September 11th and was showing great improvement. I was shocked to learn this morning that he was gone. I was already leaving for High Point tomorrow morning for alumni weekend so I am hopeful that I will get to attend his funeral.
Dr. Warde (he always wanted me to call him Charlie but I never have been able to flip the switch to it) was an amazing man. He always had the ability to pull me out of whatever funk I was in for whatever reason and make me believe that I was the most brilliant, amazing person who ever walked the earth. I roped him into being my sorority's on campus advisor. All of us loved his irish accent and his fun spirit. I cannot believe that he's left us.

I'm sorry to read this.
I'm sorry for your loss Megan. He sounds like an amazing man.
Hi Megan. I would like to publish an obituary of Dr Warde and wonder if you would email me your two photos of him? My email address is pmurtagh@irishtimes.com. I hope you can help. best wishes -- Peter Murtagh, managing editor, The Irish Times, Dublin, Ireland
Thank you so much for your post. My father's students were so very important to him! It was nice to find a photo of him that I didn't have.
All my best,
Caitlin Warde
