Peacefully
at home on December 24, 2023 of Lorne Edward Power of Montague, aged
77 years. Beloved husband of 56 years to Carol (nee MacLeod). Loving
father to Dwayne (Will Richards) and special Grandpa to Ethan, Cedric,
and Maggie. Brother to Rose Marie (Fred) Landrigan, Joyce (Glenn
deceased) Hunter, Kevin (Judy) Power, Carol (Terry deceased) Frame,
Maureen (Mike) O'Brien, and Brenda (Tony) MacIssac, brother in law to
Lynda MacLeod, and uncle to numerous nieces, nephews and great nieces
and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Emmett and Mary Power, in-laws
Jimmie and Grace MacLeod, brother David Power, sister Stella Power,
nephew Blair Power and niece Patricia Miller.
Lorne was a life-long truck driver of over 60 years,
starting with his roots on the Power Produce family farm in Greenfield
and working right up until his death. He was a longstanding employee
of M&M Trucking for over 40 years, making countless friends
between colleagues, businesses he hauled to and from, and others in
the industry. He loved nothing more than a good game of 45's, auction,
or cribbage, but most of all he enjoyed the camaraderie that came with
sitting down with friends to play. His dry sense of humor and deep
belly laugh served him well over the years and he had a specialty for
teasing anyone he could. He loved to chat, spending hours on the phone
with dear friends, his family members, and many in the trucking
community. There were few he crossed paths with that he didn't know or
couldn't trace their roots back upon meeting. Above all, his pride and
joy were his three grandchildren whom he enjoyed spending as much time
as he could, teaching each of them to drive (and most a little earlier
than they should have).
