  Lorne Albert Le Poudre, born July 16, 1938, passed away at the age of 84 on September 9, 2022, in La Crosse, WI. Lorne was the younger of two boys born to Maurice and Margaret (Mroske) of Minto, MB, Canada. Lorne grew up on his family’s farms in Wakopa and Minto, MB, Canada. He survived polio as a young man, graduated Minto School and went on to further his education at Maison St. Joseph, Otterbourne MB. In 1957, he began his professional career as a banker with the Royal Bank of Canada. He married Sonia (Fedkiw) November 10, 1962. They relocated to South Minneapolis, MN in April 1964; there they raised two sons, Bradley Paul and Christopher Maurice, living in the same house for 50 years. Upon their move to Minneapolis, Lorne continued his banking career at PNC and years later became a realtor with Edina Realty. Lorne had a great love of hunting, fishing, and gardening. He enjoyed coaching his boys’ activities of baseball, hockey, and soccer. For the last 20 years, Lorne and Sonia made their monthly trip the Smiling Pelican Bake Shop, Maiden Rock, WI, for Lorne’s favorite bread. Upon retirement, Lorne and Sonia relocated to Pepin, WI where they enjoyed small community living. He stayed active in his hobbies and planted two vegetable gardens this year. He was a farmer at heart and was always especially proud of his flowerpot arrangements. He kept Sonia busy canning the harvest he cultivated each year. Lorne enjoyed life until his last day. Lorne was predeceased by his parents Maurice and Margaret (Mroske) and his brother Kenneth and sister-in-law Margaret (Nay). He is survived by his wife of almost 60 years, Sonia; two sons: Bradley (Cindy) and Christopher; two granddaughters: Corey and Sonia; and his pride and joy, Rami, his great grandson.
