Between 1975 until about 1991 Jan and I were running pals. I remember many conversations with Lloyd regarding healthy life styles, exercising, diet, relationships with family and friends. You could tell he loved his family. They were very important to him. My heart goes out to the family for their loss of their love one. Would love to hear from you Jan. With perfect consideration for your loss, Joyce

To Lloyd's family. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I have known Lloyd for most of my life although we have not kept in touch. I should say that my family has known him. His father worked with my father at our restaurant in San Antonio for many many years. He was good friends of my brother (Bobby who we lost several years ago to cancer) and my sister Janet. They were closer to his age and went to high school together. We were a close knit group seeing how our mothers grew up together in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. His cousin Bruce was good friends with my other brother Howard. It is with fond memories of Lloyd and his family that I have. Once again, this is sent with the deepest condolences to his family.
