Our thoughts and prayers are with Eileen and the family during this most difficult time.. He was great person and a good friend to our family. He will be missed but he is not suffering any more. Take care.

Lloyd was an amazing uncle, and I always looked forward to our annual summer trip to Sydney to visit as a kid. There are so many memories of cracking open lobsters on the back porch, trips to the bungalow along the Cabot Trail, and swimming in the ocean. In later years, I equally enjoyed Lloyd and Eileen's trips to Arizona to visit. Lloyd's interest in learning all about Arizona made for many conversations over a cup of tea. Lloyd always set such an incredible example of what a family man is all about. His dedication and love for Eileen and his family were evident in all that he did and said. He will be sorely missed.
All my love and prayers,

So sorry to have heard about Lloyd's passing. He was a man of great honor who loved his family to the fullest. The smile that would come to his face when he spoke of any of his children or his grandchildren was the proof of what a family man he was. Please try and take comfort knowing his suffering has ended and he will always be that special angel looking over you. Prayers and hugs to all the family at this difficult time
