Lorne was predeceased by his parents, John and Marie (nee Lavallee) Hermanson. Lorne was born on August 17, 1937 in Winnipeg and attended Daniel McIntyre Collegiate. He was a manufacturers agent for Huck Glove Company for many years and was just starting to enjoy his semi-retirement. He loved sports and especially curling with the Pembina Senior Mens Curling Club. He was an avid woodworker and will be sorely missed by the rest of "Arnies Army". Lorne had a "big" heart and was always there for a friend in need. Special thanks to Arne and Linda Ryland, Bruce and Sandy Blackmon, Kent Gemmill (Kathy), and Peter Sheridan for your love and support. Many thanks to all the staff at the St. Boniface Hospital and in particular to Denise Campbell at Oncology, the staff of 5B and the Palliative Care Unit for the compassionate and tender caring of Lorne during his illness. A special thank you to a great team, Rachel and Sean. In lieu of flowers, if so desired, donations in Lornes memory may be made to the Manitoba Cancer Society or the St. Boniface Hospital Palliative Care Unit.
