David Lohnes

David was a dedicated Parks Canada professional and an exceptionally fine human being. I admired him and I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

I am very sad to learn of the passing of Dave Lohnes (Mr.Lohnes as I knew him).
I was a friend of the Lohnes family in Ottawa through out the '70's and sporadically in the '80's when I spent my summers there as a kid from Michigan.
I found Dave to be like a father to me, always including me in their family events, or just setting an extra spot at the table for dinner.
My heart goes out to June and the family for your loss. Always remember the great times you had together for those...

Dave Lohnes a été un gestionnaire important de Parcs Canada. J'ai grandement apprécié son implication dans le domaine de la Conservation et de la protection des Parcs nationaux canadiens.

Dave delighted in people and nature and in hard work. During our many years at Parks Canada HQ, I and many others cherished Dave for his leadership and for his ready laugh. Both the Parks field and his family gave him pride.

David was a favourite of our family ever since he accompanied our parents on part of their honeymoon 75 years ago. Perhaps it was that canoe/camping trip in the wilderness of Kedge that inspired his second career with Parks Canada.

David was a god-send in taking care of Roy and Claire and their affairs (financial!). With no involvement, Dad was able to remain in a relaxed relationship with his brother. Both Mom & Dad loved being with David and June, visiting their home just "up the...
