June 22, 2018
Louis
Dwayne Lorge, aged
76 years of Moose Jaw, SK passed away on Monday, June 11th, 2018. Lou was
born in Shaunavon, SK on January 1st, 1942 and grew up on the farm east of
Shaunavon. He moved to Moose Jaw and where he spent his life with his
wife, Janice. They had just
celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary on June 5th, 2018. Along
with Janice, Lou is survived by his sons: Curt
(Jackie) and their daughters Gabrielle and Rachel; Brent (Darcy) and Brent's son
Madison (Kristina), their daughter Elliot, Brent's son Zachary (Elly), and
Brent's son Jeffrey; Lou's two brothers, Jack (Rolande) and Dave (Moe);
brothers and sisters-in-law: Bev (Bill) Itcush, Keith (Joey) Berglind, Wenda
McArthur, and Debra Berglind; as well as many nephews and nieces. He was
predeceased by his parents, Ed and Alma Lorge; and in-laws, Lloyd and Florence
Berglind. Lou worked as a welder at Kalium Chemicals for 27 years, as
well as shut downs around the province, Sask Highways, and helped to build the
pool at Temple Gardens. His true passion was for building cars, which
started with a special custom Dune Buggy, a gorgeous red convertible 1940 Chev,
and an incredible blue 1940 ford truck. He was always fixing or building
vehicles and was known for his tremendous fabrication skills and attention to
detail. Lou was a capable plumber, electrician and carpenter as
well. He took great pride in the upkeep of his home. Always ready
to lend a hand and pass along his knowledge, Lou was the go to guy when car
guys in Moose Jaw needed a solution to any problems. He completed his
last project this past fall, rebuilding a vintage 1939 Ford 9N tractor.
It was a similar tractor to the first one the Lorge's ever had on their
farm. Lou passed along his creative skills to his sons, Curt operates a
home renovation business and Brent owns Brentz Garage, an old school mechanic
shop.
