I saw the Skatalites perform in Fresno about 10 years ago and immediately bough two of their CD's that are excellent, excellent bodies of work. If you are a fan of Bob Marley, Aswad, Sublime or any of the current bands that build off of that island sound, do yourself a favor and buy a few Skatalites CD'. This gentleman along with the entire band were an inspiration to all who were witness to older musicians getting up in age but oozing with youth and good spirit while doing what they did best. Rest in Peace my friend. Your contribution to people like me who you never met is invaluable.

Please accept my sympathy for your loss. May family and friends be comforted by the promise: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

LLoyd will be missed. He was very talented. As we reflect on his life at this time may the thoughts found in Revelation 21:3, 4 be of comfort to all.

My deepest condolences to you all for your precious loss. When tragedy happens the pain, the grief, and the feelings of helplessness can be unbearable. But, it's times like this we need to go to God's Word for Comfort, Hope & Strength. Isaiah 41:13
