Lloyd was a helpful and friendly neighbor who loved to visit with everyone. He was strong and would help whenever something heavy needed to be moved or carried. He loved to walk their dogs and take them for rides in his truck. He will be missed by many folks here in Paradise Valley.
We knew Lloyd from his time at the Taproom. Good guy, a pleasure to work with, and always concerned for his fellow staff. I still check my back seat whenever getting into the car because of him.
Condolences to Mary and the family.
Lloyd was my research assistant when I worked at Washington University. He was always there, side by side with me, as I performed my research projects. He played an essential role in my studies. While working as the support services coordinator at Washington University, Lloyd was recognized for making a significant difference to the lives of many WU students. He is remembered by many of my former colleagues as a hardworking, resourceful, respectful and kind person. He was an extraordinary coworker and friend!
My sincere condolences to his family.
