David “Lorne” Salmond, age 84, passed away December 20, 2023, at Ellen Kennet Lodge of White Rock, B.C.
His family was deeply saddened by his death although it came after a lengthy, agonizing 14-month long hospital/care home stay. His wife of 52 years, Elaine, was by his side daily and upon his passing. He was born in Courtenay, B.C. in 1939.
Lorne is also survived by his sister Joan Simons of Victoria B.C., her son Gordon Simons (Shelly) and their family of Victoria, B.C., and many extended family and friends.
In 1962 Lorne came from Victoria to Vancouver to begin his studies as a Chartered Accountant, articling with the Roy Shand, Permain firm. After several years of study he became, as a lifelong career, a Controller and CEO of a group of private logging companies. He enjoyed this fully. He had a keen mind and knew serial numbers on many massive machines without looking them up. He could solve accounting problems for his staff with ease. He had many outrageously humorous logging stories occurring in the industry during his time there.
Lorne was known to dot his conversations with “Lorne-isms”, which were made up original funny words of his own, of which there were many. He was an avid sports fan as well. His humour and intensely direct opinions were experienced by all. At the time of his passing Lorne quietly expressed deep love for his wife, his friends, his work, his church and overall, his Lord.
A memorial will be held in the Spring. Family and friends will be notified.
