Lloyd was my good friend from 5th grade on. The news of his passing was devastating and he will be sorely missed. Lloyd had a great sense of humor. I offer my most sincere condolences to Lloyd's family.

Wow, I just read of Lloyd's passing. What a shock. But as I read through the other messages left in the guest book, I'm so very happy to know that Lloyd had a great family and many great friends.
I graduated from State High with Lloyd, and we definitely shared a few good times. But like everyone else, it was his bear hugs and genuine laugh that quickly comes to mind when I think of him.
To Lloyd's family - may God bless you and comfort you during this time of grief. And may you NEVER forget the moments that made Lloyd who he was for each of you.
To Lloyd's friends - I lost touch with him, but I'm so glad that he had you all in his life for all these years since high school. Thank you for the blessing that each of you was to him.
With my deepest sympathy.

My condolences to the family of Lloyd... I just met him but felt so comfortable in his presence, I easily could call him a friend. I feel I missed out on knowing how much of a wonderful person he was and could have been.

What I remember most about Lloyd was that he had a big laugh, a bigger heart and a firm handshake full of sincerity.

Before I even me Lloyd I had heard the stories about this LEGEND among the pharmaceutical reps. Within the first minute of finally meeting Lloyd, I knew every story was true. Lloyd was a true friend and one of a kind. I will miss the big hello and smile when seeing Lloyd and the laughs we had together, but I know he is in a better place now. My deepest sympathy to his family, especially Linnette, Joanne and Terry. I know he loved all of you very much. You will be in my prayers.

Good bye true friend - you touched more people than you will ever know. Your love and power live on forever in all of us and your daughter Lynette. All my love to your family left behind but especially your wife and mom - if there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to ask.

Dear Lloyd's Family and Friends,
I was an old roomate and friend of Lloyd who had lost touch with him and sincerely regret this. Through the coarse of one's life there are a few people who really leave a bit of themselves with you and Lloyd was that kind of person. Since hearing of Lloyd's passing, many memories of him have re-surfaced that bring an ear-to-ear grin on my face making me feel young and care-free again. I am a better person for knowing Lloyd. I know that he touched many people like he had me. I raise a toast to my lost friend and wish his immediate family well as there are little one can say to console their grief. I hope to see you again brother.

Dearest Lloyd,
We didn't know each other long, but the stories from both you and Cole, I feel like I knew you well.
I know you will be dearly missed - that booming voice and hearty laugh.
You were a good man and a better friend. My sympathies and prayers to your whole family.
Rest in peace, big man.

My Dear Brother,
The mere knowing that I will never hear your voice again or spend time together talking about this life brings me pain that is almost unbearable at times. This is all tempered by the memories of SO MANY good times that we shared and the laughter beyond measure. I will never forget you and as long as I live, your memory will live also. I will love and miss you as long as I breathe. Rest in peace my dear friend.

It is with great sadness that I learn of Llyod's passing. I had lost touch with Lloyd over the years, but it was impossible to lose the memory of his spirit, enthusiasm and love of life. His passing, while difficult to fully understand at such a young age, is a reminder of the precious gifts of life, family and friends. I will smile with a tear in my eye as I fondly recall our days in school and on the ball diamond. To his family, I offer my prayers for his continued presence in your lives. I know he will watch from above and help you now and always as he did while on earth. God Bless.

To All,
I didn't know Lloyd as well as most of you, but for my part I can say that he was one of the most inherently generous people I have ever met. He was your friend at "hello" and seemed to welcome everyone into his life. The world has lost a good man.

Dear Joanne: I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of your husband, and you are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. May God Bless You and help you thru your time of loss. You probably remember me from my dining at the former Roy Rogers restaurant here in State College when you lived here and worked there many years ago.
Sincerely yours,

Jackson family,
It seems like yesterday when we were kids going to Sunday School at the C&MA church. I last talked to Lloyd in the Rec Hall weight room before graduating PSU and he was his usual buoyant self. I'm saddened by his passing but I'm thankful to read that he married well and had such a good life. May the Lord comfort you.

Dear Bette and Family,
Our deepest sympathy. I remember the time Lloyd tried to simplify the removal of leaves from the hedge row. May the memories of happier times and the grace of God carry you through this difficult time. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Joanne and Lanette,
No matter what the circumstances are in life, I know Lloyd loved you both very much. Life can be difficult. Just know one thing, he had unwavering caring, responsibility and love in his heart for both of you. That I know because he told me that over and over again in the last months of his life.
I know Lloyd will always have a place in his heart for you Joanne. He told me many times over the last months of his life of how much he cared. Take that and put it in a place you can cherish for the rest of your life. As for Lanette, your Daddy loved nothing more than making you happy. His devotion to you is never ending and will never stop. He will watch over you forever. Keep his love alive in your heart as I will do the same.

I am so saddened for your loss. Like others who have posted, I am an '83 State High Grad. I was a wrestling manager when Lloyd wrestled - he was always good for a laugh, and a very good friend to me in high school. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mrs. Jackson and family -
Lloyd was an awesome person. I too attended high school with him and had occasionally exchanged emails with him. He spoke so very highly of you and your daughter. He will be sadly missed by I'm sure a huge amount of people whom he has befriended through the years. I was so shocked to read about him in the paper this morning. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

To Joann and Linette,and the entire Jackson family,
I am fortunate in that I have managed to surround myself with extraordinary people as significant friends during the course of my own life. Lloyd was without doubt one whom I will always cherish. His exuberant affable vest for life was infectious. His family and friends meant the world to him, his sense of humor was irrepressible, and he was generous to a fault. I hope I see you again...

Terri Saturno, Roni Jackson, Bette Jackson and all who loved Lloyd,
We will all miss our friend. Lloyd was a very special person and the most special person to me. All of us go through trials and tribulations through life. I can say with most certainty that Lloyd and I went through more than probably most everyone he knew combined. I say that with a light heart, because those of us who knew Lloyd from childhood days to now, know what he has gone through as a young adult, adult and friend to us all.
Lloyd and I felt and shared more together than I have with anyone else in my life. We have triumphed and climbed the tallest mountains together as well as fallen as far as two people could fall. Through all of it, I had Lloyd either physically with me or there in spirit as only a true friend could be. It did not matter what was happening in our lives. We went through personal and financial triumphs as well as hardships together. It did not matter what the circumstances were, Lloyd was always my friend and I his. Most people would have traveled our paths and halfway through would of given up on one another. That was never a thought or even an option with Lloyd. He had my back no matter what happened and I had his. He had mine more than I wanted to admit due to some of the strife I have suffered. But without him, I know I would of never continued down the path of life. People are judged every day by what they read, hear and observe of other people. Lloyd never judged me. He knew who I was and loved me for being that person. I loved him for the same reason.
We should all reflect on the gifts Lloyd has brought into our lives. He touched everyone in a different way. It may of just been his big old teddy bear smile or he may have helped you in sports and maybe he sent you a $100 when you really needed it. It does not matter the gift, the point is he was always giving. I love my friend and feel him with me today. I will never forget him and I hope none of you ever will either.
One of Lloyd's happiest moments came when he went on a search to find his biological mother. At the end of that journey he found Terri Saturno. That meeting meant more to him than anything in the world. Terri and Lloyd were brought back together by Gods will and Lloyd's continued drive to push forward and succeed. He did indeed succeed in that quest. I had never felt him happier than the day he reunited with Terri. I wish his sister Roni my heart in this sad time for her brother and my friend. I had many good times with Ron and Lloyd as we were growing up. I also send out my heart felt feelings to the mother who raised him, Bette. I know Lloyd was not the easiest child to raise, but you did your best and Lloyd would not be the man he was today without your love. Thank you for that.
Take care my friend. Please continue to watch over me and all the ones you love. Your mother Terri I know will miss you more than all of us combined so please give her a breeze of joy every once in awhile like only you can do.
Take care my friend. I love you!

Jackson Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Lloyd's sudden passing. I graduated from State High in '83 with him and he was a supper nice guy. He could always make me laugh even when I was not in a good mood. Knowing how caring and sweet he was in high school--I am certain he was a great father and husband and will be sadly missed. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
love and prayers
