Lorne was a hardworking man who worked as a Chief Custodian for the school board for 33 years. With his wife they enjoyed riding snowmobiles and his motorcycle, showing old cars, playing cards, going for scenic drives and most of all family visits.  Lorne loved to hunt, fish and be in the outdoors.  He was known for wearing his suspenders and always referred to Centre Dummer as “God’s Country”.
