Here is the substance of today's e-mail:
Lorne King (Kassian) is believed to have died circa 2012 or 13. Ben Healy, who had been a good friend to him for many years, but had not heard from Lorne for some time, visited his flat and discovered it empty. The landlord informed him that Lorne had died, but Ben has been unable to find any further information.
In 1967 Lorne worked as a DJ on Radio London, the biggest of England's offshore broadcasters, transmitting from a ship off the coast of Essex. Lorne was with the station for three months before returning to Canada. Radio London, like the majority of our marine broadcasters was to be closed down by the government in August of that year.
I attended the First North American Offshore Reunion in Vancouver in 2004 and Lorne was able to be there thanks to Ben's generosity.
I have compiled a tribute page to Lorne and any information about him and his broadcasting career would be greatly appreciated.
