Dad left us to be with his "Best Girl" on September 20, 2020 at the age of 82 after a hard fought battle with cancer. He has now joined his wife, Carolyn, who passed in 2013. Lorne is survived by his children Dale (Rosy), Kelly (Sherrie) of Victoria, B.C. & Candace of Kelowna, B.C. Lorne is also survived by four grandchildren Lauren (Kaiden), Darren, Dylan, Kelsey & two great-grandchildren Madeleine & Nicholas.
Lorne served in the RCN from 1955 to 1960 as a Marine Engineer and again from 1962 to 1986, first as a Hull Technician eventually finding his passion as a Clearance Diver. He joined Freemasonry in 1977 progressing through to Scottish Rite and Gizeh Shriners of BC and Yukon. It was as a Shrine Clown Lorne found a true calling. In the many parades, special events and the visiting of sick kids his joy was spreading happiness to those around him. A Life Member of the Oyama Branch 189 RCL, he was an influential leader serving in roles from President to Poppy Fund Chair and many others.
Losing Dad will leave a huge void in the Pittman family however, we are at peace that he is with his sweetheart "Together Again"
Many thanks to Interior Health Palliative Home Care nursing staff. A private ceremony will be held for the family in the spring. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Lornes' name to the Oyama Legion Branch #189 "Poppy Fund".
