    I\'m so sad to hear this news. I will miss Lloyd\'s smiling face on my canteen visits. Hugs to his close friends and family.

    Lloyd, I always looked forward to my morning break, going to the Canteen and sharing sarcasm with you, was by far the highlight. Although I am sad that you won\'t be coming back I rejoice, for through our faith in the Father we are made whole again. I know you are restored and your beautiful smile is shining in the heavens. God Bless.

    You will be missed. Every time I saw you, you were always up beat, personable and happy. Prayers going to your family and friends.

    Lloyd: He was always a nice guy, smiling and had a very good sense of humor. He was a big part of the friendly \"personality\" the Canteen. I used to order the same meal...Chili Dog, extra onions & cheese each day for years, that I came in. It liked it served a certain way and he got to the point where I\'d just get in line and he\'d serve it in the order and just the way I liked it without even telling him. I have not been at the Canteen for a while, so am sorry for your loss and it just will not be the same the next time I visit there without him. God Bless his entire family..

    Lloyd: This saddens me so and I so miss seeing you in the Canteen. But I\'m grateful for the opportunity to have gotten to know you and converse with you over the years. You are missed. To Lloyd\'s family - he was a wonderful, caring human being, so calm and good-natured and always with a smile. I\'m sorry for your loss, but know how much he was appreciated here at work. May God be with you all during this time of loss.

    I did not know him personally; but, every single time I used the Canteen, he was always friendly and had something nice to say. What a great man. I\'m so sorry to hear of his passing, he was one of the really good ones that will be sorely missed. My prayers to your family, what a tragedy.

    I have known Lloyd from almost the first day he was at the VA. He was genuinely a nice guy. He always greeted me (sometimes sarcastically) which I loved. I will miss seeing him. This breaks my heart. No more pain, Lloyd. You are walking with the angels.

    So sorry to hear of his passing. I used to talk with him frequently when I went to the canteen. He was always upbeat and quick witted. I enjoyed the conversations and sarcastic remarks we would throw at each other. He will be missed. To his family, I hope you find comfort and peace during this time. Please know that he was well liked by many here at the VA and will be missed.

    It hurts whenever we lose a member of the VA family. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

    Lloyd, I will miss your smile and laugh. I always looked forward to our conversations and banter in the canteen. I find peace in knowing that you are no longer struggling and I look forward to seeing you in the next life, happy and healthy again.

    My heart is heavy. However, I will always remember your smile and quick wit every time I came into the canteen. I am smiling right now thinking about all the times we joked and laughed at each other and with each other. Good night for now, friend. I will look for you in the morning.
