Bernard Joseph Lorton
July 2, 1931 - April 6, 2017
Bernard Joseph Lorton passed away on April 6th, 2017. He was 86 years old and up until the last few weeks of his life lived with his wife, Doris Lorton with whom he had been married for 30 years. “BJ” retired from the air force as a decorated (National Defense Service Metal and others) Lieutenant Colonel after giving 23 years to his country in service. He served in two major wars with various pilot assignments (his last being a tanker refueling pilot). In retirement, he was an avid golfer, a gym rat, and an unbelievable cook. He loved to travel and did so with his wife internationally three times a year until health restrictions late in his seventies prevented it. He is survived by his wife, her sons (Steven & Glen Ross) and his three children, Chris, Susan, and Julie. May he rest in peace.
