In loving memory of
LORNE CHARLES
THOMPSON
Born May 3, 1945
in Vancouver, BC.
Passed away unexpectedly
June 16, 2004 in Smithers, BC.
Lorne was a highly respected
teacher at various schools in
School District #54 (Bulkley
Valley), and retired in June
2003. Retirement opened up a
“whole month of Saturdays,”
allowing him time to pursue his
passions of fly-fishing, biking,
and spending time with his
children, Cameron and Andrea,
and the newest addition to the
family — his granddaughter, Lily
Anne in Cranbrook, BC.
Lorne will be sadly missed
and lovingly remembered by
his wife, Linnea Lanstrom;
daughter Andrea Thompson;
son and daughter-in-law,
Cameron and Heather
Thompson; granddaughter Lily
Anne Thompson; and his
stepsons Brad and Blaine
Baldwin. He will also be
missed by his sister, Pam
Kennedy, nephews Chris and
Lyle Kennedy, Aunt Emma
O’Callaghan, as well as his
many friends.
Friends wishing to do so may
make a donation in memory of
Lorne to St. James Anglican
Church Soup Kitchen in
Smithers, BC, Smithers Public
Library, or the Canadian
Arthritis Society.
The family is grateful for the
outpouring of support from
friends and community
members. Your thoughtfulness
and compassion has eased the
pain of these difficult days.
