I had the opportunity to meet Lloyd and care for him when he was on the 10th floor at St. Luke's. Lloyd always was in great spirits no matter what he was going through health-wise. I am fortunate to have met LLoyd. Your family will be forever in my thoughts and prayers.

Lloyd was my favorite uncle. He spent a lot of time with my sister and me when we were little – he played cards with us and took us for rides on his scooter. Even as an adult, we had fun together, and he was always there to help when needed. He was a great guy, and I will miss him a lot.

My uncle, Lloyd, was a very nice and kind man who loved his family and animals. We had a connection because of this and have kept in touch over the years, even though we live in Arizona. I will miss him very much.
