Lloyd was a wonderful neighbor to us for many years. He loved children & animals. My daughters and grandchildren adored him. They loved to go over and sit in the swing with him. He had never-ending patience with them. He will be missed.

Lloyd was a wonderful man who touched my life and that of my three children. I grew up living next door to him and Ruthie on Tesla Rd. and they were both always there if someone needed a hand or a story. In 1970 it was Lloyd and another neighbor who pulled my two sisters and mother out of a flash flood we had that swept through our property. If it hadn't been for them standing in Lloyd's field watching the water stream by, over half of my family could have been swept to their deaths. My children fondly remember climbing through the fence on hot summer days and Ruthie and Lloyd having ice cold popsicles for them. Lloyd was a great friend to my late father and I know they are up there looking down on us and smiling! I love and cherish the memories I have of you Lloyd, and I hope your family knows how much you mean to so many of us!
