Sorry to hear of Lorne’s passing. I remember fondly as a kid when people use to still cool horses out after racing, walking one of the family’s horses around the backstretch of Kawartha and Lorne would be walking his horse that had raced against us. He would always take the time to strike up a conversation with me. Condolences to the Brethour family.
