I have dealt with Lorne for 30 years, and his passing comes as a shock. He was very dedicated to the hobby. Henry, his dad, only passed away a few years ago, and it seemed like longevity was in his family. This should be a wakeup call to all of us to live every day to it's fullest.

Lorne's help over the years.
Lorne was one of the very first Military vehicle collectors I was introduced to when I first started collecting & restoring military vehicles back in 1994 and over the years have gone to his place for advice and the odd part I was looking for,Lorne would always have one in his shed.We talked about CMP's and jeeps for hours.Living only 10 minutes away from him was an easy drive when my latest project was restoring a 1943 Ford GPW RCAMC stretcher jeep and needing advice and the odd part,Lorne was happy to help in any way he could.When I first brought the jeep home back in 2010,the first 2 people to come and see it were Lorne and his dad Henry.Unfortunately I never got to show them the finished product and take them for a ride in it.Life is short,shorter than any of us realize!
He will be sadly missed. Derk.

Sorry to hear the news. Didn't know the man, but recognize the personality.
Suggest that someone have a word with the family about his collection before anyone starts making decisions. The last thing any of us want to hear, is that a couple of truck loads of scrap steel disappeared down the lane, just so the estate can be cleared in a hurry.
