You are in my thoughts at this sad time. Lloyd was always a good neighbor and when my kids were younger he would always hand them chocolate bars and boxes of popcycles over the fence.Take care of each other during next weeks and months ahead. Cindy

Shorts and rubber boots with the tops pulled down. Hank Williams played non stop the 1st of Jan as a tribute. Master of puzzles...any kind from Rubiks cube to word games to logic. Endless knowledge of trivia tidbits, no subject beyond his reach. Jack of all trades. He was firm but he was fair. He could be cranky, but was always finding the humour in everything. We argued about everything, but it was done out of love. Gonna miss you daddy-o. Love you. R.I.P

Dad, I’m so very proud of you for the huge steps you had quietly taken in recent months to gain control over your health…and so grateful that I was able to tell you so when you discussed them with me. Despite knowing that it was going to be a long and arduous process for you to get well, you were at peace with a very difficult decision and fully prepared to make the required efforts. I was excited for you -- and I know you were, as well. It puts a huge crack in my heart that you were robbed of that opportunity. You were a charming and quirky character…and a man of depth, generosity, and creativity. Your pleasures were simple…playfully teasing a daughter or grandchild, bantering with Mom, enjoying a (warm!) beer, solving a logic puzzle, cranking out your twangy old country music, inventing some cornball turn of phrase. Quiet and unassuming, usually staying in the background, I always felt your love and support. Your shy, awkward way of expressing yourself was most endearing. And your sometimes-crusty shell never fooled any of your four girls or grandkids…inside, you were soft, gooey, and warm. Thank you for instilling in me humour, humility, sensitivity, stoicism, a great respect and love for Mother Nature and her amazing creatures, an appreciation for life’s simple joys, the ability to quietly enjoy my own company, and the need to just be myself. I love you dearly, Dad, and miss you greatly. You were a fantastic husband, dad, and grandpa. Rest in peace, precious man. Love, Susan

Norma, I have missed you and Lloyd for quite some time.I wish I could be there to give you a hug of comfort. Make sure Lloyd knows the 'Dogan-Menonite'(if you remember his joking about this),will always remember him as a friend and a loved "Father". In this hard time, you have a lot to deal with...lean on your daughters, they have big shoulders and will help you through this. My heart and deepest thoughts are there for you. Love, Curtis

Noma: I worked at Foodland as a cashier, you and sometimes Lloyd would come through my til. If you had too many groceries we would call Lloyd and he would come and pick up. I remember him as a quiet man, but always, always pleasant. My sincere sympathy to you and your family at this time. Regards, Arlene

It is with an extremely heavy heart that I say that I was awoken to a call telling me my grandfather had passed in the night. Near the end, he was very sick from years of putting health second, but was working to improve himself. Though we have been distant in location these past couple of years, we always had a special bond, and I have always held him very close in my heart. R.I.P. Grandpa. I love and miss you so incredibly much, and will see you again someday. <3 Samantha

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this sad time.We will always remember Lloyd as such a happy person with such a friendly smile.

— Don and Sharon Irvin, January 12, 2015

Sandy, my sincerest sympathy to you and your family at this heartbreaking time. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing that he no longer suffers, but is at peace. May the memories you have of him live forever in your heart.
