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

The Atkins family sends their love and a drink with all of yous🤗🤗❤️❤️
