Lorne Austin Melvin Beitz
Posted Apr 18, 2023 | 11:06 AM
The final curtain has fallen on the act that was affectionately known as Lorne Beitz.
Lorne Austin Melvin Beitz of Mildmay, formerly of Chesley, passed away suddenly, at home, on Monday, April 17, 2023, in his 79th year.
Beloved husband of Diane (Johns). Loving father of Ray of Beeton, Rob (Dawn) of Chesley, Ken (Connie Rands) of Courtice, and Brad (Lori) of Kemble. Cherished grandfather of David (Alyssa), Greg (Shelby), Wyatt, Carlee (Jonny), Kasen, Austin, Serinity, and Dallen. Lorne will be dearly missed by his siblings, Anna Oehring, Harvey Beitz, Florence Fischer, Catherine Grubb, Eugene (Edna) Beitz, Lorraine Schnurr, and Jerry Beitz. He will also be fondly remembered by his sisters-in-law Jean Beitz and Rose Beitz, brother-in-law Harvey Huber, as well as the entire Johns family and his many close friends. Lorne was predeceased by brothers Joseph, George, Clarence, Dave, Mel, sister Theresa Huber, and his parents Anthony and Johanna (Hehn) Beitz.
A celebration of Lorne’s life will be held at the Chesley Community Centre on Friday, April 21, 2023, from 2 – 8 p.m. with words of remembrance (and maybe the odd joke!) at 3 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Chesley Hospital Foundation would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy.
