  1. Please accept our sincere condolences. May the words quoted from this song bring you a measure of comfort as it did for us.
    ”If a man should die, can he live again?
    Hear the promise God has made:
    He will call; The dead will answer.
    They shall live at his command.
    For he will have a longing
    For the work of his own hand.
    So have faith, and do not wonder,
    For our God can make us stand.
    And we shall live forever,
    As the work of his own hand ”(Job 14:13-15)

  2. So sorry to hear of the loss of a friend that always had time for a good visit. He will be missed.

  3. Thinking about Lloyd always reminds us of his pleasant and bubbly little humming you would hear coming from the parts isles at work. You always knew it was Lloyd somewhere in the parts department working and singing to himself. Rest in Peace Lloyd.

  4. I remember talking to Lloyd when my parents and my aunt worked at the John Deere implement. He always had a smile. Reading about Lloyd brought back many memories of visiting the implement. I know it is difficult to have a loved one leave this earth. Hold your memories close and Lloyd will be there too. God bless all of you.
