Sorry to hear about Lorne passing. We were friends at PMH for a year or so before I left. My last day of work, Lorne and I and our dates were on our way to Banff in his small Chevy convertible. They waited for me outside the main office while I got my final cheque. When I got inside I was told that I still had one more day to work. Oops! After much pleading and explaining that my friends were waiting outside, they relented and gave me the cheque. Years later, living in Ottawa, I managed to locate him and we spoke on the phone. Anyway, Lorne was a good man. So long, pal.

Sorry to hear of Lorne's passing. Lots of great memories and lots of should ofs. Lorne and I went to PMH (Ponoka Mental Hospital) Psychiatric Nursing School in the fall of 1967, he graduated in 1970 and then took off to Europe with Roger Schell and spent many months traveling all over, ending in Spain. Still remember sending $25.00 for each of them around Christmas that year. Lorne said he was able rent a Villa with a housemaid for a month. Was a great friend to both of us George and Gina Fujita

Many great memories from living together in Lethbridge, sometimes with Brothers Barry and Tom and other guests. Many family get togethers on holidays or just getting together for a visit in Penticton or Summerland. Best memory is that of a Friend, Thanks and proud to call you a Step Brother. We will miss you greatly. John and Heather
