Always remember Lionel from the track .

Lionel, also fondly referred to by my late husband as “Farmer”, was a constant in our lives for many, many years, sharing in our mutual love of the horses and the not so loved annual job of haying. Lionel was a quiet, gentle man who we cared for dearly. He was known throughout the horse racing industry by his “Mar El” horses who he owned in partnership with his soulmate, Marlynn. R.I.P. Lionel.

Lionel was a man of few words and was a little stubborn at times, but was always kind and would help you if you needed it’s.
Mar El Patsy was the best horse he bred and raised but his three kids were his greatest achievement.
Condolences to Marlynn, who was the glue for it all, and to the Kloss family.
Thinking of you all. ♥️

Marlynn and family we are sorry for your loss. I remember playing with Donnie, Sandra and John on Elizabeth Street back in Lucan many years ago. I know mom has kept in touch in the years since, I’ll make sure she gets the news.

Condolence from Susan Franken on August 28th, 2026 12:32 AM

Marlynn, my sincere condolences to you and your family on the passing of Lionel.

Condolence from Bill Wilson on August 28th, 2026 12:06 PM

Dear Marlyn and family. My remembrance of Lionel, is back in 1968 when I came to live near Goderich. I went to the Sunoco station at the 5 points and met Lionel servicing vehicles on the hoist. I used his service until he finished there.
He was a man of few words but great service.
In the last few years, Lionel would do the grocery shopping at Food Basics, where I work part time. We had some conversation , but mostly a touch and smile. Thank goodness for Andrea who assisted in the weekly shopping.
Thinking of you Marlyn… Bill and Joy
