Lorne was one of my best friends when I lived in San Diego. He was such a good cook and was always wide open. We lost touch soon after he moved to Denver. Had been trying to find him and was sad to see this. Am so glad they have finally found his remains and wish the police would find the person responsible for this hate crime. R.I.P Babe..
