Dear Doris and family. I received the information of Lloyd's passing from one of my old patients via FacebOOK.
There are few words in my ken that would adequately express my sorrow at our loss.
Back in MUHLENBERG days it was wasLloyd who told me about Osteopathic medicine.
Today it is eight years that i have mourned my beloved Virginia's passing. The pain has lessened but it is still there.
Please extend my deep sorrow to the family.

Eslinger family,
My deepest condolences to all of you. My family and I were patients of your Dad's for many years. He was a very caring and compassionate man and was well liked and respected by all who knew him.
I also have fond memories of spending time with Donna when Grace Mary was your babysitter.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Dr. Eslinger was our family physician for many years in Northampton. He took good care of all of us. Especially my youngest brother who would have died if not for Dr. Eslinger. Our sympathies to the entire Eslinger family.
