Lorne Frederick Beach
January 3, 1931 – October 17, 2020
Lorne was born on January 3, 1931 at the Beach family homestead on Beach Road near Oxford Mills. He was the third child of Theodore and Margaret Beach joining his brother Theodore (Lilah) Beach and sister Eleanor (Harry) Carmichael.
Lorne met the love of his life, Doris (Whaley), they married in 1954 and had three sons, Tom (Sally), Tim (Fran) and Doug (JC). He eventually became a grandfather of eight and a great-grandfather of two.
Lorne took over the family farm, but his love of motorcycles soon led him down the path of building a shop where he bought, sold and repaired motorcycles. He became a small engine mechanic and added skidoos, lawn mowers and chainsaws to his business. The family is sure that many locals will recall their visits to “the shop” and chats with Lorne.
With Doris by his side, he enjoyed many pastimes including camping, fishing, music and Sunday drives. The two were fixtures at arenas watching their sons, and then their grandchildren, play hockey.
After passing peacefully in his sleep, Lorne took his last drive down Beach Road past the family homestead on October 23 to arrive at his final resting place in the Oxford Mills Union Cemetery.
Donations in honour of Lorne’s life can be made to the House of Lazarus or the charity of your choice.
