Edwin William Lorenz

December 21, 1929 - July 5, 2021

At the Northumberland Hills Hospital on Monday July 5, 2021 at the age of 91. Ed Lorenz loving husband of Diane for 68 years.
Loving father of Peter (Denise). Grandfather of Nicholas (Trisha) and Alexandria. Great grandfather of Lukas and Aurora. Uncle of Fran (Dan) Grey. Predeceased by his brothers William and Harold and by his sister Annie.
Ed was born in Maxstone Saskatchewan in 1929. Moved to Dunnville where he met and married Diane in 1952. They moved to Cobourg in 1965. In 1979 he started Lorenz & Son Mfg. with his wife Diane and son Peter. He was a long time member of Rotary International. Ed was a Paul Harris Fellow, past president with 30 years perfect attendance. He enjoyed summers fishing at the family cottage on Buckshot Lake on his boat the “Pretty Busy”, and spending winters in his favourite place on earth, Maui Hawaii, with family and friends. Seeing a great need for a palliative care unit in Cobourg, Ed was proud and humbled to have “Ed’s House” carry his name.
A memorial service will be held at the Best Western Plus Cobourg Inn and Convention Centre, Cobourg on Thursday July 15 at 11:00 am. Due to COVID 19 restrictions attendance will be by invitation only. Those wishing may make memorial donations to Ed’s House – Northumberland Hospice Care or the Northumberland Hill Hospital Foundation. A live stream of the service can be accessed through the funeral home website by clicking on Ed Lorenz’s link.
