JOHN GEORGE LORBER

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. I remember er John like my meatloaf. Susan was so sweet. My mother was an Austin as well.

Great man, had the pleasure of serving with him in RAF Upper Heyford England. He was commander of the 79TFW Tigers
I was a Intelligence technician and he was the best commander I served with in my 20 years of service. Rest in peace my friend!

Served with then Capt Lorber at Laredo AFB. 67-69. I was aircraft dispatcher at Base Ops. Very nice man and I knew he would go far, and he did, making general. Played on base flag football team that Gen Lorber captained. RIP kind sir, you were the best.

I was on hand the day that General Lorber, then a Colonel, flew his last F-16 flight at Misawa. He chased after the guys hosing him down, which is an old "last flight" tradition. It was a good time, and we all had a good laugh. He led by example and was the kind of leader you couldn't help but respect. May he rest in peace.

It is hard to imagine a world without the partnership of John and Susan Lorber. We remember them as true friends and a role model of a perfect partnership. John was a 4 star general but remained the humble man from Iowa. John was fortunate to find that magnificent Aussie lady in Susan! They were better together as a married couple that certainly brightened our lives. We miss you dearly.

I am sad to learn of General Lorber's passing. I first served under him at Misawa Air Base Japan where as the Wing Commander he would stop and talk to any group of airmen that was gathered. He also had an amazing eye for design as an example he would direct contractors at the HQ PACAF building on where to place trees and objects in the Court Yard of Heroes. I am blessed to have known such a great leader and person.

Served with then capt lorber at Laredo AFB 67-69 and played on the base flag football team he coached. Very nice man and it was an honor to know him. I bet he is still performing touch and go landings in heaven.

I worked for General Lorber Years ago in Misawa Japan. He was a big influence on me as a young Airmen. I learned a lot about taking care of your people from him. He led by example!! To his family i am so sorry for your loss, he was a GREAT leader! I ran into him at The NCO academy at Petersen AFB 2006. He was giving a speech to the class. As i was on my way out the door he saw my Name tag and remembered me from our time at Misawa. I had such an awesome chat with him. I now teach leadership...

My heartfelt condolences on the passing of General Lorber. I lost my father recently and I was deeply saddened to hear the news about his commander and friend. He was undeniably a great man, beloved by his family. As a role model, he inspired not only his children but also their friends, including myself. I had the privilege of being best friends with his son Adam during our teenage years, and through that bond, I witnessed firsthand the profound influence and love General Lorber shared with...
