Lloyd DeLong Obituary
Lloyd was most recently a table games supervisor at Foxwoods Casino where he left his mark on so many with his cool, calm and collected demeanor. He was an avid Disney World fan. The day he returned home was the day the countdown began for his next visit. He enjoyed spending time with his grandson, Miles, immensely. Watching him grow gave him such great joy.
Lloyd is survived by his partner, Diane Falco; son Victor DeLong; stepson Vincent Austin; father Lloyd DeLong; siblings, Larry DeLong and Connie Taylor; step-grandchildren, Aaron, Aaric and Aaden Austin; and his grandson Miles DeLong.
Dad, you fought the good fight. I couldn't be prouder of you. This isn't goodbye; it's until we meet again. "What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others" - Thucydides, author.
A dual memorial celebration for both Lloyd and his mother, Eleanor, will be held at 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 28, at Miracle Temple Church , 45 Broad Street, New London. Relatives and friends may begin to arrive at 5 p.m. for a "meet and greet" .
Arrangements are entrusted to the Lester Gee Funeral Home of New London. www.lestergeefh.com.

Lloyd was so wonderful to be around. He treated me like I was part of the table game community. Also was with a smile, sometimes sarcasm, but always a gentleman to me. I will me him. He made me laugh. I went to the funeral hall tonight. Obviously I had something wrong because no one was there. I could just hear Lloyd laughing. Rest in peace my friend.
