I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to Lorne's family on his illness and passing. His professionalism, dedication and comradeship will be missed by all of us here at the Town of Markham. It was a privilege to know and work with him. I was thinking yesterday of the evening a group of us, including Lorne, went to a Blue Jays game in Toronto. I didn't know a lot of the officers very well then and Lrone really made me feel welcome and at ease and a part of the "team". I'm sure you all have many wonderful family memories of Lorne to help sustain you in this tragic loss. Sincere Sympathy, Jill

My deepest sympathy to Lorne's family with the passing of Lorne. Lorne was true friend and a colleague who set an example for all us in Markham with his professionalism, dedication, and thoughtfulness. I will miss his "can do" attitude and his willingness to learn new skills and activities. I know that the residents of Markham will miss him too as the residents that Lorne dealt with constantly ask about him and comment on how well he performed his duties with great understanding and consideration. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.
