Our thoughts are with the Parke family as we remember Lorne as a wonderful friend to the Logan family for many decades. Lorne and Helen, Robert and Bernice Logan, along with the Halls and the Langs enjoyed so many good times together. What a fine legacy Lorne leaves in his extended family.
With Kindness,
Don and Elizabeth (Logan) McQueen
