To Lloyd's family: I was the manager at Island Creek Village for many years and knew Lloyd (and Dot)well. I just hope that someone has recorded some of Lloyd's stories about Duxbury for posterity. He certainly was one of a kind.

To Lloyd's family, You might say Lloyd was a constant companion of mine. I drive the Senior bus in Duxbury where I've lived for 36 years. Lloyd was a constant source of information regarding Duxbury. I enjoyed every minute that he was a passenger on my bus. I will miss him. A lot of Duxbury history goes with him
