Lorne’s interest in the aviation industry found him in Ottawa in 1974, where he achieved certification as a Flight Service Specialist. It was in Ottawa that Lorne met Barb. His career took them to many cities and towns all across the country. By 1981, the two had created a family of 4 children, all of them boys! Lorne was the ultimate family man, always putting his wife and children first, and never missing a birthday, Christmas, or special occasion. He enjoyed a wide array of activities; from fishing and curling to baking and badminton. As his sons grew older, Lorne became a sports enthusiast, driving many a mile to watch his boys compete in swim meets, baseball games, and hockey tournaments. He was always there in any capacity he could to help people achieve their dreams. Lorne loved to laugh, and he loved to live. He touched the lives of everyone he met, and will be missed so very dearly.
