Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryLORNE PETER PROULX June 26, 1945 - April 10, 2016 With both feet firmly planted in Christ, in the early morning of Sunday, April 10, 2016, Lorne Peter Proulx passed from this life to the next after a brief but brave battle with cancer. Lorne was born June 26, 1945 at St. Joseph's Hospital in Winnipeg, MB. He attended school at Our Lady of Victory and was a proud graduate of Windsor Park Collegiate. He also attended many courses at The Winnipeg Adult Education Centre. After growing up as the oldest of five brothers, Lorne married Carol Harmer in 1969. Lorne and Carol had two children together, Teresa Lorraine (April 1970) and David Lorne (May 1972). He worked 34 years (taking no sick days) as a Winnipeg Transit Maintenance Worker to earn a living and provide for his family. As his family grew, Lorne's love and pride was for his children and grandchildren. He took a keen interest in their education and encouraged them often in their studies and life endeavours. It was also towards his family that he expressed his love through generous and often unexpected gifts. Lorne was predeceased by his parents George and Natalie Proulx, and brothers Roger and Grant. He is survived by and will be deeply missed by his brother George and wife Liz (Ria), brother Robert and wife Kathy, sister-in-law Susan, ex-wife Carol, daughter Teresa and husband Rory (Noah, Grace, Gavin), son David and wife Hettie (Christian, Brendan, Danae), very special friend Joanna, and many extended family and friends. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 Service will be held Friday, April 15, 2016, 1:30 p.m., Crosspoint Community Church, 554 Marsden, Winnipeg, MB.

Lorne and I became friends to the end of education center in 1986. I started to see him on my job at the railway station. After he was retiring I could use a great friend and I consider them to be my best and closest friend. - Posted by: Mike Cooke (Friend) on: Jan 20, 2020

Although I did not know Lorne as others closer may have, I was able to develop a bit of a relationship through Winnipeg Adult Education, initially as his Math teacher. He would occasionally return to our school for a visit or I would bump into him downtown and we would chat. I always admired and respected Lorne, especially for the love and care he would portray for his family. He spoke highly of his grandchildren. Many other teachers here have similar stories of Lorne. May you rest in peace. - Posted by: Rick Schinkel (Teacher/Friend) on: Apr 14, 2016

It is with a very sad heart that I learn of the passing of a true friend and co worker. Lorne and myself shared many laughs, stories and beers. It was always a joy going to work and spending our shift laughing our asses off. I was lucky enough to share in his retirement in which he would relate all his stories regarding his children and grandchildren, who he loved very much. His stories of his train travels often left my ribs sore from laughter. Rest in Peace my friend, you played very well with the life God gave you. Take care "donny boy" - Posted by: Dean Macaulay (Friend) on: Apr 14, 2016
