Not sure what to say?





I believe that Lloyd Klotz knew my father, Fred Arce, when he lived in San Diego. (If not, please forgive the intrusion.) My dad is 84 and to this day, mentions how wonderful Lloyd Klotz was to him. He considered him one of his best friends.

Lloyd will be missed by many friends and family. I was fortunate to have worked by his side for many years. I always reminded him how great of a mentor he was to me. He was caring, generous and full of life. He loved dancing and dining. One of his special places was the Candle Club. I will always keep him in my memories. I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to know this sweet man. I will miss you Lloyd. May you Rest In Paradise my dear friend. I'm sure you are dancing in heavan with the angels.

I first met Lloyd in San Diego in the '60's when I was in high school and my Dad worked with him at a machine shop in SD. Later, my husband at the time, Don Duckett, became General Manager for Tru Circle Mfg in Wichita, so I go way back with Lloyd, Dave and Bob. Lloyd was always happy and full of life. I'm sad knowing he's passed. The last time I saw him approximately 10 years ago, he seemed extremely happy. I don't remember ever seeing him any other way.

To Lloyd's family and friendshe was one of the nicest and most selfless men I ever met. He was so generous with his time and volunteered at church whenever he was able. I feel so fortunate to have known him and his children should be very proud of the man he was. May he Rest In Peace in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior.

My heart goes out to the family. Lloyd and I were best friends. We spent lots of time together over the 40 plus years fishing, hunting, dining, and just talking shop. We all will miss him greatly.
