Lorne Vinitsky

Dear Jessica and Micky,
I have known your dad Lorne since seventh grade when he sat behind me at JHS 67. Hard to imagine back then that we were going to stay friends for life. There really has never been a perfect name to call our type of friendship. We really weren't like brother and sister. We never had a romantic foray to our friendship either. And, "best friends" doesn't really encompass our deep love for each other. Lorne listened and helped me through all the trials and tribulations...

I can't remember when Lorne appeared in our lives-it just seems that we had a third son. He always had a kind word and a smile and could always find the good in any situation. He was taken too soon and will be sorely missed-but never forgotten. Love you, Gloria & Len Mayer

I was very saddened to hear of Lorne's passing. My deepest condolences to Claudia and his children.

Lorne's warmth and intelligence drew you to him. In High School, we all wanted to be his friend and he was a good friend to each of us. Engineer hat, sweats, a box of Entemann cookies and a big grin... I will always remember him fondly.

Its true what they say Lorne.The good die young.You will be sadly missed by many.Especially my Family.You are the only one who could actually make my brother laugh at the worst times.You actually were able to sit with my parents for hours and have a decent conversation.That's amazing since my brother and I could only last 10 minutes before the brawl.I remember how we would go to movies and never have to wait on lines.Who could yell at Lorne?I will miss Lorne,you will always be my friend,my...

I first met Lorne while we were in High School, (Benjamin N. Cardozo, Bayside, N.Y.) he even visited me (and others) in Buffalo while I attended the University there, but that is a story for another time. He was always a generous, caring and concerned person. If Lorne had a mean bone in his body I never saw it. Even through some very adverse times he always keep things in perspective and would look for that "silver lining" in whatever dark cloud that was overhead. I am thankful that I was...

The first time I met Lorne he was sitting cross-legged on his mom's bed wearing sweats, a goofy looking train conductors hat, and a big smile. That will always be how I think of him. I felt Lorne was a loving, caring and sensitive guy who wanted to be your friend.
What a privilege to call him a buddy, a friend, one of The Boys. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.
Rest easy Lorne.

Lorne you looked so hopeful and full of projects on thursday...i have to believe that God needed you;but..so soon.

It was just 2 weeks ago I called Mitch to get Lorne's current phone #, I was calling him for his advice and to help me write a classified ad to sell my condo in Florida in a Canadian Publication. While driving, I went to call him and realized it was still early in the season and slipped the paper with his phone # above into the sun viser. Of course at this momment his Phone # is still right above me, I am sure I will keep it there for at least another 30 days. finally it will probaly have...

Nos pensées vont tendrement à Claudia et à la famille
Prenez soin de vous
