Lloyd is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Ethel (Worth); whose unconditional love and unwavering devotion in caring for him with a grace that touched the hearts of all who knew them; his children, Sherry and Larry; grandson, Liam; great grandchildren, Aurora, Emma, James and Ruby; his sister, Bette Strople; plus numerous relatives who adored him. He is remembered by many people.
