PEAKE, Lorne C

Apr 27, 2017

Sunday evening, April 23, 2017, peacefully in his sleep, we lost a kind and loving man, Lorne Charles Peake, age 91, following a difficult and painful year-long convalescence.  Lorne was one of the six children born to the late Clayton Charles Peake and Helen Ruth, Lorne was the adored husband of Linda MacDonald, residing in Sharbot Lake.  Lorne was the father of seven children:  the late Julie, the late Richard, David, Darren (Maria), Kim, and Lisa (Jerry Rivard).  He has eleven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.  Lorne will be missed as well by second wife Barb Everett, also of Sharbot Lake. Also left to grieve are:  his dear friend and “adopted” daughter Linda Clarke; his many wonderful PSWs (in particular Tina Hickey); and his Nurses (especially Nurse Extraordinaire Wendy Orr).  At home with his devastated wife Linda, grieving in their own way, are his much-loved dogs Caesar and Stella and the three cats they torment, Fritzy, Frannie and Franco.  Lorne was a proud Canadian Army veteran of WWII during which he served in Holland. He had an unfulfilled dream to visit that country again as he had learned to love its people. Following the war, he transferred to the Canadian Airforce, there working on the Avro Arrow project.  As per Lorne’s wishes, there will be no wake or funeral service.  He will be interred in the Peake Family Plot at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa, date to be announced.  Arrangements in care of Goodfellow’s Funeral Home, Parham.
