I’ve worked with some great folks over the years and Lloyd was one of them. When I first moved to VA and started working in the Department of Technology at the Virginia Beach City Public Schools, Lloyd welcomed me with open arms. He was a kind, generous person who ALWAYS had a smile on his face. A smile that was contagious. I’ve been to some pretty awesome concerts thanks to Lloyd! You will be missed, friend!
Grace, love ❤️ and the peace of God will be with you during this difficult time! Cherish your memories of Lloyd as we will each day. He will always be with us!
Lloyd and I both worked in the high school library and attended Marshall University. We pursued a degree in library science and spent many hours traveling the road back and forth from home to the university. I was so glad we reconnected on facebook and had the opportunity to share info about our careers and families. He was very proud of his children and grandchildren. May the memories of your Dad help you in your Dad’s passing. God bless.
Courtney, I am so very sorry about your dad…Eric, I am so very sorry about Lloyd…I pray that both of you cherish and hold to your heart your memories…You both have an angel shining down on you…God bless you….kpt

How lucky you are to have such wonderful memories of him…

I met Lloyd in 1994 when he was the librarian at the newly opened Larkspur middle school. I was new to VB with only 4 years of experience in a much smaller district. His goodness and generous nature were obvious, and I was grateful his guidance and leadership. A deeply kind person, he had much to teach and share. Our loss is heaven’s gain. Missing you, Lloyd.
Deeply Missed…
Lloyd was best man at our wedding and a lifelong friend. We will miss him dearly
I am so sorry for your loss. Lloyd and I grew up in the same neighborhood at Fanrock WV and he was a kind and wonderful guy.
The news of Lloyd’s death has saddened me more than I can say. I feel so grateful for the privilege of being touched by his kindness and the opportunity to call him both colleague and friend. Lloyd’s spirit will always live on….
