Not sure what to say?

Hi Georgie! I don't know if you remember me but we went to St Gregory's together and OLP for a year! My name was Ellen Suhler and Mary Jo and I are still friends to this day. She is the one who told me about your dad's passing. I am so sorry. I hope that you are doing well! We left St Paul in 1967 when we moved to Seattle where I still live. My parents lived in Seattle for 5 years and then they moved to Huntington Beach, CA. Mom and dad moved to Oak Park Heights 8 years ago and my dad...

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Lloyd.He started Me out on the sailing adventure of my life! I proudly sit on His old boat cushion every time I sail my boat on Lake Superior, He's always with me, and for that I'll always be grateful. Thank You Mural, Gay, Georgie and Brad for sharing Lloyd with me, Brother Bob

Mom and Dad - united as one until the very end.

Dear Muriel and Georgie, my sincere sympathies. I will always remember Lloyd and his gentle laugh. In his quiet way, he always had fun. Peace and blessings to you all.

Lloyd has always been an inspiration. Fair winds my friend.

So sorry to hear of Lloyd's passing. He was a very gentle man. My sympathies to all his family.

I too was blessed to sail with Lloyd on White Bear Lake and will always hold those wonderful memories close to my heart. He was a great man of integrity.

Oh, how blest we were to know Lloyd and to love him. He was truly a gentle, gentleman. And a fine sailor. We will always treasure sharing our love for sailing with him and have wonderful memories of White Bear Lake. Eight Bells and All Is Well, dear friend. Your watch is over. Rest peacefully.

I hope I can be half the man that Lloyd was. What a kind, gentle, caring, special person he was. I remember chasing Old Yeller many times on White Bear Lake with Lloyd at the helm. Sail on dear friend.
