• Sincere condolences to Linda and family and sister Lois. Lorne was my cousin. We enjoyed meeting with Lorne and Linda when we were in Winnipeg a Few years ago. Family was everything to Lorne and he will be missed. Joyce, Alec and family, Surrey, BC. - Posted by: Joyce Chance (cousin) on: Aug 28, 2020

• Dear Linda, Lois, and family, I grew up with Lorne on Kildonan Drive from the age of 6. Lorne was the daredevil of the neighborhood. From the monkey trails to testing rafts on the creek..he had no fear. On one occasion Lorne and I decided to jump off of the roof of my house. We had to climb a garden tressel to reach the roof. We had jumped into all the fresh snow except for one spot. Lorne beat me to it, not knowing my dad had left deer antlers on that spot! I carried Lorne home on my shoulder, dropped him into the front doorway..his mom asked what happened, and just rolled her eyes. It wasn't the first or last time Lorne would come home slightly damaged. Great guy! Always in a great disposition. A friend who will be sorely missed.

• I grew up across the street from Lorne and his family in a great neighborhood. There was a large hill at the end of the street with a steep trail called "the killer." Lorne became a legend as the first and only guy to successfully ride his bicycle down the killer with all of us watching. Lorne was immediately the athlete of the hood and he maintained that status with all the cool things he did, from motorcycling to most everything he did! Also one of the nicest guys I ever met and since I was a few years younger, he always treated me like his little brother as I was in grade school. Many awesome memories of Lorne and certainly someone I always looked up to. I'll miss you Lorne and I'm grateful to know you're at peace and in good hands. - Posted by: tim klassen (neighbor ) on: Jul 08, 2020

• To Lorne's family, I am so sorry for your loss. His family was his treasure. To Lois, I know this is so heartbreaking because of how close you were. Best buds! Although I never met Lorne, I have heard so many wonderful stories about him. How he was such a kind and sweet man and so lovely to everyone. That is not something you see every day. You always had his back and vice versa. It's what inspired you to get a beautiful tattoo of him recently on your back of the photo of him above. I am so glad he was able to see it recently and how he was so thrilled. I remember when you texted him from the Alice Cooper/Motley Crue concert we were at and the playful banter between you both. i have never heard you speak negatively of him EVER. You often mentioned the devotion and so much love he had for his wife; how you appreciated he was with someone who shared similar interests. How great of a Dad he was and how important his family was to him. He was the whole package. I hope to hear more stories of him in the years to come - his love of motorcycles, the outdoors and his beautiful heart. You have one more Angel watching over you. My thoughts and prayers continue to be sent your way. "Until you meet again" and you will - let the love and support of those close to you envelop you. - Posted by: Brenda Letain (Friend to his sister Lois) on: Jul 07, 2020

• Lorne and I worked together at his last job before he retired. He talked about retirement quite often and anticipated the day he would. He talked often about how he was going to travel with his new truck and camper. Lorne worked some crazy long hours and drove some pretty sketchy equipment, but never ever complained about it. Lorne was someone you just liked being with and that’s all that really should matter. Condolences. - Posted by: Gerhard Roemer (Friend and coworker ) on: Jul 06, 2020

• Dear Linda and family, We enjoyed being neighbours and shoot the breeze with a beer, and comparing gardens. Then we both moved. Comforting hugs, Jan and Harve Rochelle (neighbours) - Posted by: JAN & HARVE ROCHELLE (OLD NEIGHBOURS AND FRIENDS) on: Jul 06, 2020

• I was so saddened when I saw Lorne’s obituary. Lorne was the kindest person you could meet. The love Lorne and Lois had for each other was amazing. Lois could not say enough about all the things Lorne did for her as children and all her life. You could always hear the love in her voice when she spoke of Lorne. My love and condolences to my dear friend and his family. - Posted by: Eileen McBride (Friend of his sister Lois) on: Jul 05, 2020

• I’m so sorry to hear of Lorne’s passing. Lorne and I were classmates in grade 10, room 3. It was an all boys class, which amounted to ten months of good times and many laughs. My favourite memory of Lorne is the time he asked to be excused from class, sneaked outside, crouched down by the open class window and lodged a big firecracker in the screen. He then attached several long fuses, lit it, and returned to class. Shortly after sitting down there was a huge BOOM when the firecracker went off. Our teacher ran to the window to catch the culprit but, of course, there was nobody there. He turned to the class and said: “Lorne, I don’t know how you did that but, I know you did that”. Of course there was no proof, so Lorne got away with it. I still laugh about it today. Rest In Peace Lorne, but by all means, wreak a bit of havoc up there.

• Deepest condolences to Lois Reid and Lorne's extended family. I met the Reid family in my early teens. And then the fun began ... outdoor adventures, motorcycles, horses. Lorne's Mom and Dad were always willing to step up and help in anyway just as Lorne would do. His love for motorcycles started very early with his mom and dad being enthusiasts from the beginning and encouraging the kids to seek out all their dreams. Which they did!! I feel blessed to have known the Reid family and spend many great times with them all. Today is hard on us and I especially send love to Lois who has always been Lorne’s best friend and confidant and little sister with a good punch. RIP Buddy. Til we meet again 🙏🏻❤️ - Posted by: Barbara Sol (Friend) on: Jul 04, 2020

• So saddened by the passing of Lorne. Sending my deepest sympathies to his "best sister ever" and to Linda and their family. So many memories with the Reid family. Our dads worked together at Imperial Oil and I've known Lorne and Lois my whole life. In fact 39 years ago today Lorne drove me to my wedding! The memories at 1211 Kildonan Drive will always be cherished. Lorne worked at my parent's business out near Falcon Lake. Lots of good times out at Whiteshell Esso. I think that was his first job. His love of motorcycles was passed on to him by his parents and there are lots of memories of tearing around the Esso on dirt bikes and snowmobiles in the winter. We had been out of touch for quite awhile but I'm so happy to have been communicating with him again near the end. The Kerr family will never forget you Lorne. RIP 'till we meet again. - Posted by: Pat McVeigh (Friend) on: Jul 04, 2020

• Many fond memories of Lorne the "Worm" when he worked for us in the service station on Henderson Hwy, we will always remember when he gave Dave a ride on his 3 cylinder Kwasaski - it was terrifying and he gave me a ride as well, have never been on a bike again..he always had a smile on his face and the look of mischief...he is now at peace without pain and watching over all he loved..RSP - Posted by: Elsie Shale (Friend) on: Jul 04, 2020

• We're saddened to here of Lornes passing. Please except our deepest condolences. Lorne and I ,Ken, grew up in the same neighborhood and attended elementary school together. I have many fond memories raising a recuss riding our mini bikes on Kildonan drive. Those were the days. We haven't seen Lorne for some years and were hoping to hear from him and reconnect down south this past winter. Unfortunately god had other plans. Rest peacefully my friend .... Ken and Lorraine.... - Posted by: Ken and Lorraine Turchen (Friends ) on: Jul 04, 2020
