His love for cars led him and all three sons to join the Shifters Car Club.
Lorne's retirement years were spent being involved with family and extended family. He enjoyed time spent with his close friend Florence Tunney and her family. He enjoyed volleyball, bowling, hiking, and watching his grandchildren and extended family play hockey, soccer, and baseball.
