Lloyd was not perfect, but none of us are, but in the words of Frank Sinatra - Lloyd did it his way... Lloyd was a loving husband, a proud father, a cherished Grand-Pop, and the best person to make a person laugh with his jokes. Lloyd had a unique gift, where no person was a stranger to him. He felt the need to always put a smile on your face. Lloyd had many hobbies including Music & Flying. He was a Private Pilot for 14+ years.

Lloyd will be loved and missed by many, as he made an everlasting impression on each and every person he crossed paths with.

There will be a Private Family-Only Memorial at Cape Canaveral, LC34A, where, in 1969, men were sent to the moon. Since Lloyd was a pilot, a manned flight to the moon was aviation's Best. God Speed, Dad...
