Posted on: Friday, March 28, 2025To Mike, Carol & Sloan, I’d like to offer you my heartfelt sympathies and prayers at this Sad time of Lorraine’s passing. I always admired Lorraine’s impeccable memory of anything sold in the store and Lorraine’s extensive knowledge of paint, and tools, screws, nails anything for your DIY projects. Lorraine’s advice was thoughtful, helpful and spot on.
I Thank you Lorraine & Mike for your dedication and contribution to the fabric of our Town of Aurora for the many Decades in Business and as Aurora Citizens.
Rest in Peace

Posted on: Sunday, March 30, 2025Dear Mike,
please accept our heartfelt sympathy during this difficult time.
You and Lorraine were probably the first Aurorans we met when we moved to Aurora in the winter of 1988. I needed an axe to split the logs to fit my fireplace and you had just what I needed in the hardware store. I still use that axe.
Looking forward to see you soon at the Tuesday Computer Club meetings at the the Seniors Centre.
