Lloyd was the very embodiment of "a gentleman and a scholar." My mother-in-law, Marcia, and all our family have had the incredible blessing of Lloyd and Winnie May's friendship, and that of their lovely daughter, Susan, since Marcia moved to Maravilla. Lloyd's keen intellect and lively wit kept every activity vibrant and interesting. And on task! It was always quite evident that Lloyd had awesome leadership skills, commanding respect with the utmost civility and charm. All the while with his eye on Winnie May, his heart on his sleeve, his devotion matched by hers. To be in the presence of their love was truly a privilege. Lloyd, you are indelibly etched in our hearts and you will be terribly missed.

He was an amazing man and taught us all so many things. Grandpa loved grandma with a depth that goes beyond understanding. They were true soul mates and raised a great family. I am truly blessed to have had him as my grandfather for so many years. He will be rememberd with fondness and missed greatly.
