You will be missed by many sir
So sorry to hear of Loyd’s passing. Prayers for his family. Lloyd and I were in the same class at school.. When we were in the third grade, we would take our Roy Rogers and Hopalong Cassidy lunch kits out to the playground and eat our sandwiches. I lost track of Lloyd after high school.
Lloyd and I were high school classmates. My deepest sympathy is extended to his family.
So sorry, prayers
