Lorne passed away at Whisperwood Villa on Wednesday, March 13, 2024. Born in Freetown on October 9, 1934, he was the son of Fred and Lois Moase. He is survived by his wife Shirley (MacDonald) of 54 years; son Chris (Michelle) and beloved grandson Noah of Waterdown, ON and son David of Toronto, ON. Fondly remembered by siblings-in-law Sheila Moase Reeves, Madeline Giffin, Jim (Roxanne) MacDonald, Georgina Price, and Donna (Steve) Zoccole, nieces, nephews, and cousins. Lorne was predeceased by his parents, brother Norman, sister Beulah (John) Dekker and brothers-in-law Walter Giffin and John Price.
Lorne received his early education in Summerside. He obtained his B.A. from Acadia and B.Ed. and M.Ed. from U.N.B. After ten years as a teacher and principal, he served as Director of Teacher Training at Prince of Wales College before being appointed Deputy Minister of Education, where he remained for 16 years. He next served as Deputy Minister of Community and Cultural Affair, and later Transportation and Public Works. His final executive position with the PEI government was as Executive Director of Hospital and Health Services, retiring after 25 years of service to the provincial government.
Following retirement Lorne served as Commissioner of Municipal Reform, did contract work with the Federation of Municipalities, the Town of Stratford, and chairman of the Indemnities and Allowance Commission.
Lorne was a member of the Rotary Club of Charlottetown for 47 years, was a past-President and served on many committees. He especially enjoyed the Youth Exchange committee and Easter Seals, where he represented PEI on the national Easter Seals Board of Directors and served as liaison between the National office and PEI Easter Seals. He received many honours and awards from Rotary, as well as other awards.
He received three Queens Jubilee medals, was honoured with national scouting awards, was honorary life member of the Canadian Education Association and Roads and Transportation Association of Canada. He was a member of the Canadian delegation to the conference on Rural Education in Accra, Ghana (1970) and a member and chairman of the Canadian delegation to OECD Education committee in Paris, France (1977-1980). Lorne loved to travel, and his work offered this – also he and Shirley enjoyed many wonderful travel experiences.
Lorne was a member of the Kirk of St. James Presbyterian Church, a Sunday school teacher, an elder and former Clerk of Session. He served on the Board of managers and Kirk trustees.
