LORNE GEORGE HOW Lorne passed away peacefully early in the morning of Saturday, October 8, 2016 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Lorne was born on September 23, 1944 in Winnipeg to Bill and Ruby How. He was predeceased by his wife Marguerite, both of his parents and his nieces Cherie and Darlene. Lorne is survived by his daughter Jennifer (Jason) and son Bradford (Veronica). He is also survived by his brother Don (Liz) and sister Wilma (John). Uncle Lorne will also be missed by too many nieces and nephews to mention by name. Lorne's memory is also cherished by sister in law, Barbara (Brian) and family. Lorne was also loved and will be missed by Marguerite's extended family who took him in as one of their own. Lorne joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in January 1963 and served proudly retiring as a Master Corporal in December 1974. He always spoke fondly of his time in service to his country and the friends that he still counted across the country that he served with. After leaving the service, Lorne first worked at the Convention Centre in security management for 2 years. He then went on to the security department at the Health Sciences Centre where he served first as assistant director and then as the director retiring in 2002. Lorne made it a mission to know as many people's names as he could of the 1000's of employees at HSC. Lorne had several passions in his life. He loved his family and this extended to his friends. Along with Marguerite, they welcomed many into their home, their table and their hearts. Lorne loved golf! He had been a member at Larters for 25 years and played his regular Saturday game until last summer. His love of the game extended to volunteering and working for Golf Manitoba where many looked forward to seeing him. He loved traveling to see family and friends and in the last year this included trips to the cottage. Lorne took his diagnosis as a challenge. A challenge to beat the odds and a challenge to fill his life as fully as he could in the time he had left. And it would be impossible to say that he didn't succeed. We wish to thank all of those with Cancercare Manitoba who helped Lorne throughout his illness. He spoke fondly of all of you. Specifically we want to thank Dr. Gordon who never gave up on our dad and always lifted his spirits even when the news was bad, Dr. Ogaranko who provided weekly care to dad over the last year and the many chemo nurses who even visited dad in the hospital this past week. While we know you would say it's your job, it meant much more to all of us. We are comforted that Lorne is no longer in pain. We will miss you always and know that you will always be in our hearts and watching over our putts. Funeral service will be held on Monday, October 17, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Avenue. Interment and reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CancerCare Manitoba in memory of Lorne. For those who wish to sign the online Guest Book please visit our website.
