I had the pleasure of living down the road from Lorne and his family. Will always remember the little white ford ranger that Lorne had put together for himself with a built up 302 V8 you would of thought it came that way from Ford. Lorne took great pride in his work and could machine you anything you need. My Dad Ron worked with Lorne at Selkirk Generating Station aswell where over the years he got the pleasure of watching Lorne machine and make all sorts of parts and got to hear all lorne's Metzler & McNeil Vega wagon drag racing stories from bison dragway. He will be greatly missed but most importantly remembered by everyone he graced. - Posted by: Dan & Ron Klim (Neighbour, friend, coworker. ) on: Nov 05, 2022

Lorne was one of the most generous and supportive people I have ever known. And as noted by another poster his skills with all things mechanical was outstanding and equalled by very few. He will be sorely missed by many. - Posted by: John & Cheryl Melnick (Friend) on: Sep 13, 2022

I remember Lorne as a coworker with exceptional mechanical skills. I also remember attending many fun filled Blue Bomber games and Grey Cup parties with Lorne, Jim and Lou. Rest In Peace Lorne. Free - Posted by: Free Larter (Coworker ) on: Sep 11, 2022
