Lorrie passed away at Kamloops Hospice with his family by his side.

He is survived by his loving wife Betty, his children Roger (Dianne), Ralph, Judith, Marie, Louise, Roberta, his many beloved grandchildren, great-grandchildren, Shelly and her family.

He was predeceased by his grandson Tyson Lorrie Muench.

Born the fifth of nine children, Lorrie grew up on the family farm in Fort Langley, B.C. where he met and married his wife Betty in 1948.

At the time of his marriage, he was a commercial fisherman, having worked as a gill-netter since his early teens and continued throughout his life.

In 1965 Lorrie and his family moved to Kamloops, B.C. to pursue a career with Active Petroleum.

Lorrie was a hard worker and took pride in his skills as a carpenter, doing renovations for friends and family, filling their homes with his talent.

Lorrie loved spending time in the great outdoors where he looked forward to his annual hunting and fishing trips. He was an avid bowler and was a member of the Lions Club.

He was respected by all who knew him and will be dearly missed.

A tea and gathering to celebrate Lorrie's life will be held Wednesday, October 16th, at 1:00 p.m. at the Kamloops Funeral Home, with Rev. Isabel Healy-Morrow officiating.

In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to Kamloops Hospice Association (72 Whiteshield Crescent S. Kamloops, B.C. V2E 2S9) or to Saint George's Anglican Church (308 Royal Avenue, Kamloops, B.C. V2B 3P5).
