Loren was an extraordinary person who loved fishing, building things, tinkering with vehicles, reading, and above all else, working with his hands. He was well known for his outgoing personality and made instant friends with everyone he met. He was always available to lend a helping hand to anyone in the neighborhood. He had a great sense of humor and loved to tease and "pull one's leg." So many were lucky to call him a friend. He was very talented and preferred a simple way of living, enjoying the quiet life the woods offered him. He will always be remembered as a resilient individual who loved very deeply, even though it was sometimes difficult for him to fully express. We will love and miss him always. He will forever be in our hearts.
