Lorran Celley

The volunteers, flight team and board of Badger Honor Flight mourn the loss of their hero, Lorran Celley. We are thankful for his military service and proud to have served him on his trip to Washington, D.C. on September 14, 2013.

We did not get to meet this man. He sounds like a great man and had a wonderful life. He is the grandfather of our daughter-in-law. We want to let you all know how sorry we are for your loss and that our prayer and thoughts are with you all. Delbert, Lori, Beth and Kendall DeMoss

Although we did not have the privilege of meeting Lorran, we wanted to extend our thoughts and prayers from our family to his family, especially Tom, Ryan, Tony and Lindsay. We were friends and neighbors in Monona with them. We also thank Lorran for his service to our country. Carmen Reeder (Balczewski) Carol Balczewski Dennis Balczewski

Lorran stands out in my memories with him as an extremely kind and friendly person. He was very easy to talk to and seemed to have a permanent smile that never seemed faked, a genuinely happy persona. His resume speaks for itself with service to our country, many students and organizations. He lives on through friends, family and anyone whom made contact with his wholesome presence. Tiffannie (my wife) and I enjoy playing cribbage on the board that Lorran made for us (quality craftsmanship!) God bless Lorran, Lynn and the rest of the family. -Jeremy Saueressig

Meg, I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts at this difficult time. Sending you warmest wishes and many hugs, Dorene Dohler Schink
