Beloved husband, father, and friend, passed away peacefully on August 8, 2025 at the age of 90. He is no longer in God’s waiting room. Heaven has opened its door and released him from his struggle.
Born on January 7, 1935, in South Durham Quebec, Lorne was the son of Verna and Austin Ingram. He grew up and went to school in Richmond Quebec, where he developed a lifelong love for basketball, cycling, hiking, and camping. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved nature. He was a long-time employee of Standard Life Assurance but many say he would have excelled as a history professor.
Above all, Lorne was a devoted family man. He married the love of his life, MaryLou, on December 23, 1961, and together they built a life centered on love and laughter. He was a proud and dedicated father to Jeff and his guidance, humor, and quiet strength will forever be missed.
Lorne was a good man, a good provider and loved his family, his two dogs and was very active when he was well with his sense of humour always being his saving grace . While he was in long term care for two and a half years, he provided entertainment for everyone who cared for him and was much loved and will be missed by all.
He is survived by his wife of 64 years, MaryLou; his son Jeff and his grandchildren Bianca and Amelia Ingram, and many extended family members and friends who were touched by his strength and humour.
A celebration of Lorne’s life will be held at a later date. The family will reach out with details for attendance.
Though he is no longer with us in body, his spirit and love remain a part of our lives forever.
Mary Lou, Jeff, Marzena and girls - We are so very sorry for the loss of Lorne. So glad we spent time with him as neighbours and then friends. His kind soul and humour will be remembered.

AML, As a kid, I always thought UL was the funniest guy I'd ever met. He could fire off a witticism with perfect, split-second precision, and you knew when you were around him, laughs were guaranteed. His knowledge of world history, local events, and Nature was vast, and, of particular interest to me, his love of jazz music - something we had in common. I remember with fondness how he adored and respected Buddy Rich and his contemporaries. One of my cherished childhood memories is of you, me, and UL sitting in your den on Lafontaine Street watching the moon landing. Years later, for my 50th birthday, Lorne gifted me with the front pages of the Montreal newspapers announcing Man's first steps on the moon. I still have them. As the saying goes, he "loved the bones of you," and I know that never changed. I hope you and Jeff, Marzena, and the girls will hold the good times close. That will be his legacy. I love you. Jane PS I thought he was a pretty handsome dude, too. ;-)
Mary Lou and family. Diane and I are so very sorry to hear of Lorne's passing. I have so many great memories as a boy, spending time with Lorne shooting the .22 at the farm and camping adventures at the lake. He was a wonderful man with a brilliant sense of humor. He will be missed. We're thinking of all of you at this time. Rob and Diane
