Lorne was already a legend in the Twin City Harmonizers when I joined in the late 80s. He was a guest at my latest chorus in Hamilton not too long ago, still a legend, but not acting like he was anything special. This humility is what DID make him so special, though.

Safe journey my friend. Remembering the days of singing with you in a quartet back in 1976. It has been such a pleasure knowing you. Maybe some day we will meet again, and to sing together once more.
