Hello Jean, Jeff, Jason and family;

Our deepest condolences to you all on the passing of Lorne. Living in Alberta, I have not seen all of you in years. However I do smile when I think of our trip to Florida together as well as the other times our families were together. Our thoughts are with you.

Condolence from Norm Atkins on August 18th, 2021 4:19 PM

Lorne and Jean treated me as if I was their own! Including the getting a tuning from one of the smartest men I’ve known. I will miss him but I’m happy to read that the Keller name will stay synonymous in the Exeter business world and Jeff and Jason and family will keep their Dads vision alive. The Atkins family sends their love and a drink with all of yous🤗🤗❤️❤️

My condolences to the Keller family. Having known and working for Lorne for close to 40 years I will miss the our chats that started with ” Good day William ” then it was all about how the Toronto Maple Leafs or Blue Jays were doing. Lorne was a very smart and generous man that couldn’t thank you enough for the work you did. I will miss you. RIP Lorne
