WHITE: Lorne Maxwell 1914 – 2009. On September 14th at Fairview Home in Brandon, Manitoba the Circle of Life completed for Max White, a well-known and greatly respected individual in Manitoba and southern Saskatchewan. Born in Rivers, Manitoba on July 17th, son of Alexander and Effie White, brother of Irma, Millie, Clarence, Gladys, Ted and Irene, Max had a varied and colorful life as he traveled from Rivers to Clear Lake to God’s Lake to Flin Flon to Reston to Melita to Brandon. He had several careers starting as a short order cook at the Wigwam Cafe and finishing as an Insurance Sales Representative. In the space of his life, Max was well known as an accomplished carpenter, a talented musician, a dedicated mechanic, a personable salesman, a musical mentor and a father, husband, brother, uncle, grandfather and great grandfather. His positive outlook served him well as he created a nurturing environment in which to raise his family, with the help of his late wife Ida. He encouraged his children to be the best they could be in whatever field of endeavor they chose and they, in turn, took great pride in the accomplishments of their “Dad”. Honesty and integrity were his watchwords. Max was well known in rural Manitoba as the leader of the dance band known as the Max White Orchestra. He further used his musical talent to have profound impact as a real live “Music Man” in his creation of Marching Bands in Reston and Melita. He contributed to the education and personal development of many young people in these areas. For that we can be grateful. We know who we are. Max was involved in the Masonic Lodge, the United Church and acted as Justice of the Peace in the Melita District. He participated in community events as time allowed. He supported his children in all sporting and creative activities and took great pride in their advancement in the educational field. He sang the praises of his family to all who would listen. In retirement, Max and Ida travelled to Trinidad many times to visit their special friends, Dr. Chandi and Merle Singh and children. Max made a lasting impression on all he met and will be greatly missed by his loving family, Maxine Morrow, Al (Sandy) White (Carol), Fran White, Susan McLean (Grant Eppy) and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife Ida and his eldest son, Raymond. He will hold a special place in the hearts of his grandchildren David, Michelle, Heather, Carey, David, Ashley and their life partners. He will be memorialized to his seven great grandchildren so that they, too, can know the proud legacy he left. At Max's request, no funeral will take place. To all the special people who have been touched by the soul of this dear gentleman, may you remember his kind and generous heart, his irrepressible smile, his enjoyment of a good joke and always, his music. “I will sing to the Lord all my life, make music to my God while I live.”Psalm 103
