    Dear Family,
    Saddened to hear of Lloyd's passing. We will always remember him for doing the sidewalks at our church across the street from where he and Jerry lived. And Richard and I enjoyed them as we ate many meals together at the FOE 200 Eagles Club. I will never forget snapping his measuring tape suspenders. You always knew for sure it was him because of those suspenders.
    They were a super couple and enjoyed by many.

    Our congregation would like to extend our sympathy to you following the passing of Lloyd. He did the snow removal on our sidewalks for years and the only thing he would accept in lieu of cash payment was 2 tickets to our (then) Annual Chicken Noodle Dinner. He wouldn't hear of us paying him. He enabled many people to attend services on Sunday morning because we could always count on him to have the walks done. He and Jerry were very good and caring neighbors. Our love, sympathy and prayers to all of you.
