Did not realize that Cloyd had gone to be with the Lord until Janet, Tyler, Kelsey and I tried to visit him at the Raymore Health Center today. Cloyd and Gloria where great neighbors to us at 202 Murphy. I remember he took a fond liking to our cat, Pewter. He was a great Christian man. Thank you for the impression that he made on our family. We will definitely want to look him up someday in heaven.
