I am very grateful to have known Lloyd. I enjoyed many hours listening to his stories about Arizona, and his growing up years at the Rancho and the nearby Navajo and Hopi Reservations. He loved to write songs and sing, appreciated fine art, including Native American arts and crafts, and found joy in so much of life which he relished sharing with others. Lloyd, you left the world a better place. My condolences to your family.
