Leo Loranger Obituary
Leo Bruno Loranger left for his Heavenly Home to be with the Lord in the early morning, of Tuesday, December 26, 2017 with his loving wife Julie holding his hand at Pine Grove Care Centre in Kamloops.
Leo first appeared in the world on September 10, 1929 in Cobalt, Ontario, the third of five children born to Irene and Peter Loranger. Leo worked for the railway and in underground mining in Northern Ontario before joining the Canadian Army. In his late 20s, Leo rode the rails to Western Canada to seek his fortune. He worked in the field for many mining exploration companies across Canada before starting his own business based in Kamloops. Leo loved prospecting in the great outdoors and was a proud member of the Kamloops Exploration Group (KEG).
Leo will be lovingly remembered by his wife Julie whom he married in 1967 (brother's widow) and with whom he recently celebrated 50 years of marriage, by his step-son/nephew Larry, brother Gerald (Dianna), daughter-in-law Wendy and granddaughters Maya and Ella.
He is predeceased by his parents, brothers Paul and Roland (Julie's first husband) and sister Rita.
The family wishes to thank the caring staff, past and present, at Pine Grove Care Centre, Dr. Robert Baker, Dr. Eccleston and Dr. Wynne for the very best care that Leo received from them.
Prayers will be recited on Wednesday, January 3, 2018 at 7:00 pm in Sacred Heart Cathedral in Kamloops, BC.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated in the Cathedral on Thursday, January 4th at 11:00 am. Reception to follow.
Should friends desire, donations in Leo's memory can be made to St. Ann's Academy or to Pine Grove Care Centre.
