“Never, ever give up...don’t quit...for to do so is to capitulate, to surrender...and has no place in life, period!” Such were the teachings of the man, more than any other I’ve ever come across in life, that uniquely and quintessentially describe Biff Lloyd. The ethos manifesting that kind of commitment towards any meaningful endeavor in life is indelible and I have Biff to thank for leaving that with me. May he forever ‘Rest In Peace’.

Love you dad and miss you still and always. You laughter and love will always be with us during our family times! Thanks for beign the best! We know you are looking after us.

Everything written in these entries is absolutely true about Biff. One never had to wonder how he felt about anything. I only wish I had spent more time with him and Jeanne after we graduated from Kent. I will always regret never accepting any of the invites to go fishing but will forever remember our old times discussions at the Alley.
I know the family will move on and be strong from being around Biff's down home way of life. He will be remembered fondly by all of the DU brothers.

Jeannie,
What an interestting coincidence that I have been saying to myself that I need to try to find Jeannie's email (I know it is something about Biff and bball) and then receive this reminder about the Guest Book (hope I haven't missed the deadline). Please know that you are still in my thoughts -- I can't imagine the challenges you have faced throughout this past year. Be strong, remember the good times and continue to make happy memories with your family.

Hello to all
Biff's greatst catch of all was Jeanie. We sure looked forward to our summers at the lake and seeing Biff every where. If anything was going on he was right in the middle of it.
Larry & Ginnie (THISISIT) Burt
January 22, 2006
Jeanie... Thank you so much for making Ginnie and I aware of this site. Every time we think of Lakevue and our boating days we think of you and Biff. Didn't we have some really good and fun times back then. Biff was one in a million... he is missed by many. We pray all is going well for you. It would be nice to see you some day and relive old times.

To Jeanne,Lin, Joe, Betsy, Jeff, Vick, Hiram, Deb and Eric, we are all so very sorry for this chapter in your lives. I know with the strength in your souls and your memories of Biff's out look on life, you will go on to live life to its fullest as he would have wanted you all to.
And of course he is keeping a watchfull eye on you all and enjoying the fun, maybe even adding to it.
I do have to tell you, Cory will never forget being called "Charlie" (did Biff even know his real name?)
or the fun they had relaying jokes back and forth to each other.
Remember when the goose flew over and pooped on his head? Yeah, Cory won't forget that either.
For the little time we were blessed with knowing him, he had a fantastic no nonsense way of living we should all try. (I love that boat shoes go with everything.And, what socks?)
I will always remember him wondering in and out of Betsys kitchen waiting for Jeanne to get to the car so they could go to the boat. "Come on Jeanne", he'd say gruffly.
Well, with all that said,
Our prayers go out to you all, keep living life to the fullest the only way the Lloyds know.
His memories will never leave our hearts.
Deborah,Kurt,Chad and Cory(Charlie)

"Grieve not
Nor speak of me with tears
but laugh and talk of me
as if I were beside you....
I loved you so.....
'twas Heaven here with you".
--Ilsa Paschal Richardson--
My thoughts and prayers are with all of the Lloyd family during this very sorrowful time. Biff was, by far, one of the most loving, caring and genuine people I have had the good fortune of knowing. His outlook on life was contagious, his sense of humor, hysterical and his devotion to his family and friends, unmatchable. Thank you Biff, and to the rest of the Lloyd family, for including me in so much of your lives and for allowing me the opportunity to share in so many wonderful memories. I will be forever grateful for your support, guidance and friendship to me over the years.

My thoughts and prayers of peace go out to all of you. I wanted to share a couple quick memories from high school that are very special to me. I always enjoyed being at 2965 W. Bath Rd. for many reasons, but one was definitely Biff. He could always make me laugh, but most importantly, he somehow made me feel a part of his family and always welcome in his home. Because I did not have a strong relationship with my dad, I now know as an adult why the love he showed for all his girls was so precious and gravitating to me. My favorite memory of Biff is when Vick, Billy Thomas, Mark Gore, and I were at the boat in high school. We were awoke at the crack of dawn (it was still dark) by "Wake Up Little Suzie" playing so loud that it must have been making waves on Lake Erie. Of course, Biff was singing at the top of his lungs and not really very well. For a split second, I was completely digusted and mad and shocked at the noise level. As soon as I looked at him, I laughed hysterically and then just wanted to hug him because it truly was funny. After all, it was time to fish! I will always love that song forever. Thank you Vick, Bet, Deb and Linda for allowing me the gift of knowing your Dad!

There was never a time that he didn't make me proud of him. As the big brother to his two sisters who always looked up to him - as the basketball player - then the basketball coach - as the good husband and father and then grandfather -- the greatest and happiest fisherman ---and all the time he spent taking care of my bills and he and Jeanie and their daughters and husbands always there to be helpful and caring and bringing happiness into my life. Thank you Biff - I know where you are and I miss you and I love you. Your loving Mom

Biff touched many people's lives and will never be forgotten. He was definitely a wonderful son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, friend, etc. You were always guaranteed a great time when he was around. We will all miss him dearly, but will continue on doing the things he would want us to do and remembering him while we are doing them. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family throughout this hard time and always. You are an amazing, strong family and I know with the support of each other as well as the numerous friends you all have, you will get through this.
"One of the Gypsies".....as Biff would say.

Just wanted to reiterate what most people have said about Biff. Every person who came in contact with him was humored by his outlook on life and impressed by his devotion to Jeannie and his family. He had a positive impact on so many people’s lives. He is extremely missed. Thanks to each of you for sharing him with all of us.

Biff was and still is a great man, even when he would put Tums in my beer, or yelled at me for not liking perch fishing!! He will be deeply missed by all. A great man, husband, father and friend…He will be missed.

I think its great to see all of the wonderful letters that everyone is typing. I cant say enough how much dad/Biff meant to me. He not only was my father in law but one of my best friends. I love the times that we had together....The Lake, Put N Bay, Fishing, 2965 W. Bath, Painting, OSU games, Hilton Head, the ditch (ugh), the bars, tournaments, trips, dads gambling games, and on and on. I really think that is a wonderful idea that Bob writes a book, it would be good medicine for us all. Dad was one of those guys who you could go anywhere with and have a great time. I really miss him and I know that everyone else does too. Dad would want us to remember him and to carry on his legacy, so that we will. His grandchildren will learn more and more about him every day and what a great papa he was and that he is watching over them. I hope Dad and Jack Grenolds are up in heaven right now watching a basketball game or fishing. Im sure God already gave them both a Technical and or got tired of dads five minute rule. HAHA.
Oh well just a few thoughts!!
We love you mom, thats all for now

Hi to all of "our" family,
Since I did not "sign" this in the beginning and can still do so consider it done. Your husband and father is my best friend. We did everything together as families and I know that it will continue. I also miss him very much. I cannot now say, "I'm going to Biff's". I hope to get started on that book that I have been talking about, and put down some of "our" antics in writing.
WE love ya all!

Biff was a friend, like a second big brother to me. I can't forget when I was 8, 9 years old and he'd be visiting Dave--he always had the time to shoot a few baskets or catch some of my pitches. Of course, I thought I was just one of the guys--a little snot-nosed 9 year old hanging out with the high school guys--but Biff made me feel like I belonged. What irony it was when I played on the first basketball team he coached, the Eastview Junior High School 9th grade team of 1964-65. The hardest thing for me was not his tough discipline or strict regimen but it was calling him Mr. Lloyd instead of BIFF! I am sad for the loss of a great guy and will miss him.
Betsy Brock
January 15, 2005
There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of dad. We miss him more than life and thank him for giving us guidance and the best of everything any family could ever imagaine. He will never be forgotten and I hope that I can raise my children as good as he raised us. The memories keep us strong now and forever! Love always to DAD.

I am so so sorry to hear the loss of one of the funniest adults I have ever met in my life. You all have one of the greatest, strongest families I know of. My best memory is while spending time at the house in akron, is hearing Biff screaming "JEANNIE JEANNIE" and of course Jeannie just rolling her eyes in the kitchen. He was and still is a great man. Be Strong. My prayers are with you.
Lisa Ladd

We are very sad for your loss and all of ours whose lives Biff touched and changed. What wonderful memories we have. He now has the best seat in the house for high school basketball!
He will no longer have to stomp up the stands in the middle of a game.
God bless.

Just learned of Biff's tragic passing tonight. My sincere condolences to Jeannie and the family for their tremendous loss.
They say that a man's measure comes if it can be said of him "that one's life was far better for his having passed through their's than not." Such was my own experience with Biff...no truer words can be said of his having passed through mine (as a Revere coach) some 40 years ago. It was Biff who taught ("drilled" into) me more about "attitude and heart" than just about anyone else in my life and the tenets of what he taught us all remain with me to this day. He'll be sorely missed by all who knew him, as the void he leaves behind will not soon be filled.
Sage & Bethany Johnson
December 31, 2004
Bethany and I were so sad to hear of Biff's passing. The Lloyd family is in our prayers.
Although neither of us knew Biff all that well, Bethany remembers him as a renowned painter, and I as a world class fisherman,taxicab driver and hangover helper. The way I will always remember him is picking me up from Putin Bay at 7 a.m. after a long night(a missed ferry that I am sure all you Buckeyes have experienced). Two ladies looked over at my friend and I, as we were waiting to dock with Biff there to get us, and one said "I don't know which is worse, you all having your Dad pick you all up or us getting picked up by my daughter."
Biff will be missed.

I really hate to repeat what's already been said a hundred times but, Biff's family, friends and classmates at Revere have taken a hard hit with Biff's untimely passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with Biff's family and friends during this most difficult of times. On the bright side, there are probably a few million perch, pickerel and walleye in Lake Erie's western basin that now have hope for a long and prosperous life.

The Revere community has lost a true original! They broke the mold after Biff was created! To Jeanie and the girls, your husband and father will truly be missed; his love for life and his ability to make us laugh will live on in eternity! I wish you the best during this tough time.

Biff was a true friend, in fact Dave's oldest continuous one, from grade school on.
Sorry we were out of town and could not attend the memorial service, we are sure there were countless people who Biff's spirit moved over the years. Biff and Jeannie have always meant "Revere" and we always remember the enthusiasm he developed when he got around to roasting someone or just telling a story of how silly we once were. We were honored to be counted among the friends of the Lloyd family and we will keep you all in our prayers.

Jeannie & family:
How I remember the good times. Especially the rides to Geneva on the Lake with Biff, Me, Sal, Jack, Steve, and a few others. We would drive up and back in one night, looking for beer and girls ( we did better at the former than the latter). Singing made-up songs all the way. It's hard to believe that it was forty years ago. Biff was always "larger than life". He loved his family, fishing and sports. Biff will be missed by all that knew him. My thoughts and Prayers are you all in this trying time.

The class of 1960 lost a wonderful member and great friend to many of us. Biff and I were good friends at Revere and also at Kent State as roommates during those fun years of the 60's. As many others have said, Biff had a contagious zest for living and was ALWAYS great fun to be with.
Martin Vah

What can you really say to about Mr. Lloyd and his family. There are not enough words to describe or explain how much he as well as his family means to me. Mr. Lloyd had a impact on so many people during his life, I am so grateful I happened to be one of those people. Since that faithful day in 9th grade Algebra class when he asked me if I played basketball till today, there will always be a part of him install in me. I will always remember him and may God bless the entire Lloyd family.

Dee and I are so sad to read of Biff's passing. He was the first person to visit me in January 1959 when I moved from Kenmore to Bath. That was Biff, the guy with the biggest heart, the warmest smile, and no one that ever knew him will ever forget how he made them feel better being near him. Jeanie, I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless you and your family.

Dear Jeanie and girls,
I was so saddened at the loss of our "Coach" and Great Friend, Biff. He has touched so many lives throughout his career including my own. In my adult years,I have often thought about, when I leave this world, will I make a mark that will be remembered. Your husband and father has done just that! He came into my classroom that first day of school and told me to see him at practice that night. From that moment on, he worked with me as he did all of his players, to develop us into responsible adults. Look around on this day of his memorial and be proud of the "Mark" your husband and father has made on every one he came into contact with.
God Bless you all with the loss of this great man,
Love,
Pat & Judy McNeill

Hi, Jeannie.
Linda told us this morning the sad news about Biff. I was in awe of him when he was a senior at RHS and I was a struggling freshman.
He was the kind of person we looked up to and aspired to emulate. Our condolences and may you and your family find peace and comfort in your memories of all the blessings you shared through the years.

You know from our frequent talks about how much I admired your Dad. Those Brecksville-Cloverleaf games in the 80's were classics. My wife's Aunt Jo Stanley was Dean of Girls at BHS when your Dad was there. She is greatly saddenned and remembers him for coming back here so often after he had left. I'll be there Monday but I wanted to let you and your family know that many people in Barberton are mourning such a great loss.

Dear Jeanie, our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family during your time of loss. Biff had a big influence on my life as basketball coach at Coventry (Class of 1977). The things learned from Biff have been used throughout my life, especially the virtues of working hard and never giving up when things are not going your way. Biff taught us how to get back up on our horse after a tough loss, never quit and work harder to win the next game. I found the game of life to be very similar to what Biff Lloyd and Bob Chalmers taught us by playing basketball. Biff will be missed by all who knew him.

Jeanie and girls, I sure enjoyed having Biff as a friend when he was at Maple Heights. He was one of the best teachers I ever knew, but the kids didn't even know they were learning because they enjoyed his mannerisms so much. We had a great time doing the Beach Boys at the Lip Synch contests, and eating lunch with him enabled me to face my afternoon classes with a smile. He gave a lot to the world, and the number of people who loved him is enormous. I know you will love him forever, as we all will.

Jeanie,
Deeply sorry for your loss. Biff always brought a smile to everyone's face. Always fun to be around, and will be deeply missed.
I can imagine Biff sitting down with God and explaining how the game should be played and trying to teach God how to "post" up people. He will have our lord laughing and crying at the same time. Biff influenced many and his "take on life" will continue to guide many people. God Bless Biff Lloyd's Family.
