Lorne was a member of the Can-West Iris Society and always came to see us at the iris show in Winnipeg. He would bring in his iris blooms for us to see and always enjoyed a chat and a visit to the sale table to see if there were any he needed ti add to his garden. We extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends. We will definitely miss him when we are next able to have the show. - Posted by: BJ Jackson (Gardening friend) on: Dec 11, 2021

I worked with Lorne at VIA Rail during his career there. We had many good chats over those years. He was a gentle man and a gentleman. My condolences to his family. - Posted by: Christine Ward (Co-worker (VIA Rail)) on: May 16, 2020
