Warren “Wally” Lynch will always be remembered for his fantastic speed and skill on the football field. As a freshman running back in 1953, Warren was chosen Most Valuable Player for the football team – an honor he would attain all three years he played at Bishop’s. In 1954, Warren led his team to the Ottawa-St. Lawrence Conference championship.

Warren also made his mark on the varsity basketball team. Described by his peers as an ” indispensable guard,” Warren made the first team as a freshman and served as a valuable member each season.

An outstanding student, Warren graduated from a four year program at Bishop’s in just three years. He moved on to McGill University where he received a degree in Law. Warren returned to the Townships and established a private Law practise in Sherbrooke and was eventually appointed as a Judge in Rock Island. He and his wife Cairene had three children. Warren met an early death in 1975.
