We are very sad to hear Lloyd has passed away. It's been a few years since we have seen him but thought of him often and always with a smile. We bowled with him and Barb years ago at Colonial Lanes and he mowed the cemetery next to my moms house... I believe that is where he is being laid to rest today. Peace to the family

He had a natural human magnetism such that once he exposed you his spirit seemed to generate a connection with you.

Thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. There is little that I can say or do to ease your pain and suffering. May knowing that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many, bring a measure of comfort. Life is so short and those we love are gone from our lives too quickly. God's promise to empty the grave in the near future is found at Hosea 13:14.may
the God of loyal love comfort you during your time of sorrow.2CORI. 1:3,4
