I remember growing up with Lloyd (we called him "Duck") in St. Augustine, FL when we were kids. We swung on the rope swing on my Daddy's magnolia tree at our house on Grant Street. I remember when Lloyd fell from the rope swing and broke his leg. We didn't get to play for a while until he healed up. We had some great times! I just turned 90 2 days ago. RIP my old friend.

To the Guidry Family! So sorry for you'll lost he was a very good man. Funny How I remembered through his passing that he was the first man to ever give me a line of credit at the Western Auto when I was only about 15-16 years old. I will always remember his smile when I'd see him and he'd always call me shorty. May he rest in Peace. May the family always be at peace with his kind heart, funny jokes, and his beautiful smile.RIP mr. Lloyd.

Dearest Adele,
From the Stanley Duhon family our prayers go out to you on the passing of your husband, Lloyd. I'm sure at one time they were cowboys together back in the days when Ma Walters was next door. Regards to your family, Phyllis, Connie, Casey and Carl

Dear Adelle and family, it was a shock when I heard that Lloyd had passed away. Just a week earlier we had a nice visit at the Slemco outing at the Cajun Dome and as expected Lloyd was in his usual jovial mood. He will be missed by all his friends and the community of Cecilia. His Heavenly Father will is awaiting him to hear his many earthly stories. GOD speed Lloyd.
