"We will all miss my grandfather very much but we all have to get through with this very said death. I love and miss him very much and he was always there for me when I was in pain or if it was just a soccer or basketball game. He was my only grandfather I ever met but now he's gone, I know he wouldn't want me to be said but I will always have that hole in my heart that no one can ever fill, but him. I will miss his twinkle in his eye and his shiny bald head. I love you so much "Grampy." "LOVE ALWAYS, YOUR OLDEST GRANDAUGHTER, CORTNY CIRILLO."

There simply are no words to express the sorrow we feel for the loss of truly a great man. He was caring and compassionate. I always enjoyed talking with him and will miss his humor and laugh.

The world is truly a better place when having people like Lloyd in it and his love and friendship was a gift he gave to us. We will greatly miss him and our love and prayers go out to his whole family.

Love,

Dana and Rich Enders

To all who have supported us in our very difficult time, thank you. We will try to go on and be strong. The sparkle in my dad's eyes will be missed, along with his fun sense of humor. Today is especially tough, for it is election day. But, my dad would want us to be happy and would want someone to continue to fight for this city. He will always remain in our hearts and his strong sense of pride and honor will carry on through myself, my brother, sisters and his grandchildren. Thank you Kiki

Lloyd~

The last time we saw you was some time ago, you had stopped over our house with Bill and Laurie. It feels like it was only yesterday we were standing in the driveway laughing and talking. Through out the years you had been there to give us advice, we will not ever forget that.

You will be missed, you will forever be in our hearts. Thank you for honor of knowing you and being a kind friend. Rest in peace.

Love,

Jerry and Jill Kell
