He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.”

“I am very sad to learn of Lorne’s passing. We worked together for many years at Edmonton Public Schools and I had great repect and admiration for him. He was always a true professional. His biggest joy came from spending time his boys and he worked tirelessly as a Rotarian to build schools in Mozambique. Lorne was always thinking and doing what was best for kids. This is a great loss and he will certainly be missed. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.”

“From Mabel Wong and Family Love is expressed in many ways. Pride in sons’ achievements. Holding a new granddaughter’s hand. Guiding projects and meeting people’s needs in China and Mozambique. Being the best chauffeur for Anne. Sharing food and laughter in Yellowknife this past summer. Lorne was a dear friend who loved. Words of comfort seem so inadequate at this time but Anne, Shaun, Brad, Jocelyn, Sandy and little Charlotte, know that you are never far from our thoughts.”

“My condolences to the family on this huge loss. I was so sad to read this news. Dr. Parker was my professor in both my masters and doctorate programs. In fact, he encouraged me to do a doctorate when I really didn't want to, and offered to write me a reference letter. He was always so kind and supportive, it was such a joy to be in his classes. I will really miss him, but I'm so grateful I had the chance to know him in my own small way. He was a blessing to this world. <3”

Lorne had great passion to Chinese language education and Chinese culture. He will be remembered forever by all of us.”

“I am so very sorry to hear of your loss... our loss. Lorne was a friend gained through our association with Air Cadets and 700 Wing of the Royal Canadian Air Force Association. I first met him at Edmonton Public Schools when I was looking for a home for a Cadet Squadron. We stayed in touch and eventually came together at fundraising events. My last lunch with him was mere weeks ago at the Faculty Club in October. He seemed full of life and talked much about his family. He will be remembered.”
