I missed Lorne’s passing and found this obituary in looking for Frank Yeh, one of Lorne’s good friends. Lorne was a respected member of the CA community and a true gentleman. I particularly remember Lorne for his friendly and supportive nature. My belated condolences to all his family.

Dearest Marg and Lorne’s family,

Lorne will be sadly missed. He was a charming and positive man. Despite any discomfort, he seemed to still have humour and kindness in his soul and a smile for anyone he met.

With our sympathies,

Nancy Norris & Lawrence Williams

Dear Margaret,

I feel very sad about the passing of Lorne. He was truly a very intelligent and kind gentleman.

I benefited greatly from Lorne’s mentorship while he was partner at Touche, as well as from Lorne’s and your warm friendship over the last 38 years. Thank you.

I am sending my sincere condolences to you and your family. May your fond memories of Lorne and of your good times together comfort you and give you strength.

Please take special care of yourself.

Very sincerely yours,

Frank

I had the pleasure of working with Lorne on a number of internal projects and clients at Touche Ross. Lorne was very easy to work with, he was very knowledgeable about his clients’ businesses and their financial situations and challenges, and he was highly respected and admired by his clients. A true professional with a great sense of humour to boot! My sincere condolences to Lorne’s family and friends.

“For every joy that passes

Something beautiful remains”

So excited to hear that there will be a scholarship set up in Lorne’s name, not to mention his very own tree! I’m sure he will be looking down from his new dawn saying, “Thank you Margaret, for loving me so much”

Goodbye dear Partner. You were a wonderful and excellent Partner of mine at Touche Ross, who taught me much. Your kindness, easy going style and interest in your colleagues was much appreciated by all. You worked hard to leave a great legacy for both your family and Partners. My condolences to you Marg and your family.

Deepest condolences to Margaret and all the Baxter family. May wonderful memories surround you in the healing days ahead.

Linda and Jack Brennan

My condolences to Marg and Lorne’s family.

Hope memories of happier times bring you some peace.

Lorne was the example of a chartered accountant I always wished to be like.

He was the consummate professional and respected by all who did business with him.

He was a colleague who could always be counted on to provide advice and assistance when needed.

He was one of my partners I admired the most. He had a good life and I am sorry I wasn’t able to see him again after our retirement.

Through the years we were inspired by Lorne’s positive energy and his humanity. Lorne was fun to be with, and we usually learned something interesting. We will miss him. Our sympathies go to Margaret and Lorne’s family.
