Dear Mary-Gayle, Chris, Mary-Ellen and Laurie: I was quite saddened to hear of Lloyd's passing - although we only got up to Ottawa a few times over the years I do remember having wonderful chats with Lloyd about anything. He obviously was a brilliant man, yet he had the common touch making me feel quite at home with his warm smile and manner.

Mary-Gayle and all the family,
Eva and I send you our deepest sympathies and thoughts. We are indeed sorry that we were on a trip to Europe and were unable to see you all in person last week. I've just finished reading the guest book which brought back the many times we spent with Lloyd. I particularly remember the many technical discussions with Lloyd and my struggles to keep my brain going as fast as his.

Best wished to all of you -- perhaps we can get together when we are back visiting in Canada.

So sorry to hear of Lloyd's passing, he was a great mentor and an inspiration to all that worked for him at NRC. He always maintained a calm and friendly influence and my God the work he gave us was fabulously interesting and exciting.

My most sincere condolences to Mary-Gayle and the whole Pinkney family.

I will always have very fond memories of the years I worked with and for Lloyd. He certainly was the best boss I ever had.

Lloyd did indeed have his mind in the stars. He gravitated at the boundary between research engineering, mathematics and theoretical science and was extremely effective and happy being in that space. Whenever he returned back to earth he shared with his team members the most amazing practical conclusions of his analysis and out we went performing the experiments that would validate his thinking. Then, later, be would take all that data and develop methodologies allowing for the performance of the most difficult tasks on earth, or in space, with amazing elegance, ease and precision. No problem would offer much resistance to his remarkable analytical capabilities and he had the knack to spread his passion around so that his colleagues would also become fully involved and committed to the projects at hand.

Lloyd was also a most loyal and humane boss, always encouraging, never critical and often humorous, this led his team members to give him back 100%. I also had the opportunity to often meet with Mary-Gayle and their children in the early eighties, and was amazed at the level of harmony and love that Lloyd shared with all his family members.

Farewell Lloyd, you will be sorely missed.

Dear Mary Gayle,
We never had an opportunity to get to know Lloyd well but know for sure that he was blessed with an awesome wife. May you and your family know God's presence as you make this difficult journey together. Just today I learned that Lloyd's brother in law, James Clarke Bradley is part of my family tree!
