Both of us fondly and lovingly remember "Daddy Lorch" from the years we had contact with him at Camp Lutherlyn on Golden Lake. When we were at St. Peter's Wiarton, almost 20 years ago, and when we were without a minister, Ab came up to do fill in services. We had a lovely opportunity to reconnect and reminisce about Lutherlyn days including time we spent with Sue and Nancy who were fellow campers with us. we remember Ab"Daddy" Lorch as a very gentle and welcoming spirit who always had time to listen to what you had to say. For teenagers in that age that was a blessing. Our heartfelt condolences and prayers for the family and may God bless as Daddy Lorch blessed us.

Just got the E-Mail from Andrew Gastmeier noting your dads passing.
Used to run into him in the early 80's at his office when I worked for Purolator.
Hope you remember me from the Lutherlyn days.

My family and friends from Zion Lutheran in Sault Ste. Marie are so saddened that Pastor Lorch has passed. He and Ruth were a great part of growing up and feeling loved in Christ and our church community. Such fond and happy memories. They will always be remembered with warmth in our hearts. Linda Kahle

I send my condolences to all of the Lorch's for the passing of Ab. I always enjoyed his company and the last time I saw him, especially his butter tarts. He blessed my wedding that saw me join, as an in law the extended Lorch clan for which I am grateful. Ab and all of you are in my thoughts.

A wonderful mentor and friend - from earliest seminary days and onwards. Sorry I cannot be there with you as you mourn and celebrate. A story I heard second hand from Vicky Huehn's father years ago, had to do with a wedding day and a manure spreader -hope someone has the story in full, and hope it gets shared on the day.
Blessings, all.
