I worked in the Quality Management Dept. at Northside Hospital from '91-'99 and during most of that time Dr. Tabb was the head of the Emergency Dept.  I organized, attended, and wrote minutes for meetings, so saw Dr. Tabb at E.D. Committee meetings, Medical Staff meetings, and possibly others.  He was always gracious, funny, and provided valuable input.  I also appreciated that he always came to his required meetings. Before and after, conversations frequently centered on pugs, a breed I was not familiar with.  Thank you for the note in the Tampa Bay Times on 4/18/21 as I had missed any obituary.  I became a widow after almost 43 yrs. of marriage, Neva, so know what you are going through emotionally and with paperwork (!) and phone calls (!) with those entities helping  you get your new life in order.  My thoughts are with  your whole family.   Sharon Koelsch

I am so sad hearing this news.  I hadn't seen Dr. Tabb in the years since I left Eckerd Drugs in Countryside and we moved to Treasure Island but I'll never forget what a kind and caring man he was, and felt like he was a true friend.  He loved his family and had total admiration within the medical community.  We've lost a special one.  


It's been many weeks since we lost Lloyd, my wife and I are still struggling accepting the void in our lives.  We didn't know Lloyd very long, a little over two years, but he had such an impact on us we will never forget him.  He brought us into his home and along with his wonderful wife Neva absolutely made us feel like family.  We felt his love every time we saw him, he was an incredible  man, no words can express how much we miss him.  Our hearts and love go out to his sister Phyllis his wife and children, cherish his memory as we all will.

Dear Neva.   We can't believe Lloyd is gone. Our Dear Friend. I loved working with him. You guy's Will always be in our hearts.  We're still in Colorado.   Love. Larry and Sharron

We are sorry for your loss.  Our sympathy to the family.       Bill and Sarah Johnson

While half my heart is filled with sadness for the loss of my dear friend Lloyd, the other is filled with great joy for knowing him.  I had the pleasure of working with him while I was in the SICU. He was not only a great ER Doc, but a teacher, advisor and friend. Because of him, I met his sister Phyllis, who became a very special part of my life. With no way to really thank Lloyd, I asked him to be my son’s godfather, to which he agreed. I only hope my son can follow in Lloyd’s footsteps.

I only knew Lloyd for a short time doing his hair and the family but grew very fond of them God bless you love Ken and Debbie

"Dear Neva, Ian, Shawn, and Sabra,
Dr. Tabb (as I always called him) had an amazing sense of humor and could lighten up any situation. When Ian graduated from middle school, and I was invited to the celebration at the Holiday Inn Surfside, and I was injured on the beach. I remember being in alot of pain, and when he took me to the Northside ER, he was wheeling me around making siren sounds as if he was an ambulance. I quickly forgot I was in pain and was smiling. A truly thoughtful soul, who impacted my life in a positive way. He will be missed."

I met Dr Tabb 1982 I had transferred to ER Nursing staff. Our ER had a great working relationship we all become friends an ER Family.  We not only knew Lloyd as our Medical Director we knew him also as a family man , “Neva the Love of his life”, got to see their children grow up. Oh yes have to mention the elaborate holiday parties he arranged and the iconic Halloween parties “The Count” aka Dr Tabb! We Pray for strength for Neva, Ian, Shawn, Sabra and extended Family. Do not be sad , your Dad left his mark , he saved many lives during his career. Lloyd will he greatly missed but never forgotten. 
Our Sincere Condolences 
Love Patty & Marc Barbieri 

I am sorry, beyond words, for your loss. May your loving memories bring you comfort and peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn. Marion

I have known the family for over 40 years and remember well  how  handsome Lloyd was on his wedding day to Neva.  He wore a soft gray morning tux with tails also a top hat.  A most distinguishing site which only he could pull off with finesse.  Seeing his face as Neva walked toward him , so full of love and hope for a future  together that lasted nearly 42 years! We, Neva’s bridesmaids ,carried beautiful  tulips in baskets   which was  so very unique and special. They were so  young and happy. These awesome memories make me smile when I remember Lloyd and I will cherish them forever.
Lloyd, may you Rest In Peace and know you will be missed.

Neva- I am SO sorry for your loss. I wanted to attend the ceremony but cannot... All of us at Dr Churney's office are in shock, and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. He was such a great person and will be missed immensely. 💗
Love 
Gwen

My heart felt condolences to Neva, Ian, Shawn, and Sabra. I can not find words 
to comfort your pain, but know  you  are in my heart and prayers.
Lloyd and I met in 1983, and worked together as ER physicians until 2000.
We were good friends and colleagues for many years. I have fond memories of Lloyd 
with his “quirky personality and humor. “
Too many to list, but so many to keep him in my forever memory, he will be missed.
With love 💕 
Beverly LaRocca Wilcher
