Lloyd was the first person I met when I moved to Boulder. It was through a Craigslist ad that he posted for a room rental in his house. Lloyd helped me through a really growing time in my life and I think I might have inspired a few changes in him. We had a shared love for movies and would watch several over the two years we lived together. Even after I moved away, we would talk on the phone or write letters about the latest releases.

My fondest memories of Lloyd involve coming home from work to find that he bought  a new  piece of  furniture and need my help moving things around. He was always tinkering to make the place his own. 

Lloyd was easy to talk to and I really miss our conversations. 

It's a huge bummer to find out about his passing through the internet. I last talked to Lloyd in October and although his health in the last few years wasn't the greatest, he was optimistic about the future. He talked about getting a passport and traveling with me. I hope wherever he is, he's doing it with a smile.

Just missing you every day, I wish you were still here to catch up on alot of the unknown answers to questions I had for you. Wish you were here with me to hug & to hold, feeling the love & safeness I need so much right now. Wish you were here to share little joyous moments like pizza & ice cream, playing rummy q. I miss you so much pops. I think about all the memories from my childhood, how we went bowling together, how you were so serious about my games, how you taught me to bowl, ride a bike, we went to BK alot when I was little you always got me the Burger King crowns, miniature golf, air hockey, basketball, tennis, & so forth. How do I go foward without you in my life, to share new things, new memories.  I miss you so much.  With much love, your daughter, Jennifer. 

I met Lloyd 2 years ago when he first came to our Meet-up spiritual discussion group. I described him to a friend as "enlightened, gentle Soul." He had found his new spiritual community and took the next step on his spiritual path by joining Eckankar. I will miss Lloyd's kind, loving presence and friendship. One may take comfort that Lloyd's bright being continues on It's journey home to God. May the blessings be.

We met Lloyd about two years ago when he came to our spiritual meetups.  Wow, what an amazing Soul.  We spent hours in the car commuting to the Eckankar Temple in Lakewood, and sitting together in classes. He especially loved our cat Jesse. The feeling was mutual. He always asked about Jesse whenever we talked.  He helped us move last summer and was going to help us set up in our new house. 

He was a giant physically and spiritually. A wonderfully enthusiastic seeker and a beacon of light. Thank you Lloyd for touching our lives. 

LLoyd is and was a great friend and mentor, always showing me the positive things in other people. He also would tell me to take pride in what I do. Overall he was a great friend and great neighbor. Always walking through the neighborhood, interacting with others, giving his opinion whether good or bad. It was a blessing to know him. He loved to talk about his family and his old life he had stories about his life and and his two daughters, where he lived and what he did during his life time. My favorite story is when he lived in New York driving a taxi/check cashing jobs and other awesome stories/adventures. He helped me understand what the meaning of Buddhism is  and also helped me find a spiritual path. I will keep missing you walk the little black dog all over the neighborhood and always chatting with you! A big sleeping giant. Always and for ever in my memory. Deepest condolences to the family. 

Been thinking about you since you passed, wish this was all a bad dream, I really wanted to see you again, the covid panedemic did neither of us well to travel too see each other. Why did you have to live so far from me. I really wanted you to be with me this year for the love & support during my whole cancer situation, your not here anymore to be with me during my possible next wave of recovery, I really miss you so much. I've missed you before your accident & death. I wish I did take the time to see you somehow before the covid last year. This photo brings back so many memories when I lived with you in Jamaica Plain, MA. We spent so much time together, did things together, god pops I miss you so much.

Looyd and I were married for13years.  We both loved dogs our first was Allfie a beautiful  Irish Setter. We spent a great deal of time hunting for places where Alfie could run around and then
take a swim.  Then Murphy an Irish Water Spaniel.  Murphy was a very large dog and loved sleeping in the Bathtub. We were having dinner with both mine and Lloyds families.  Lloyds,s sister  Dana came running and screaming out of the bathroom.  She had not met Murphy yet!!!  That is until he popped his head out of the bathtub.

We adopted two beautiful babies five years apart. First Jennifer and then Allison.  Lloyd adored his girls and spent much time with them, There was nothing that would come before the love he had For Jennifer and Allison.  Well maybe Ice Cream.

Llovd was a gentle loving husband and  father.  He was kind and giving.  Everyone loved Llloyd.  He lived a good life and fulfilled all his dreams.  He will go on shedding his  love upon all those that were. a part of  his life.
                                         MAY HE REST IN PEACE




My Uncle was a forthright and authentic man.  He lived his life with courage, as one who was not afraid to confront his own pain and who had compassion for the pain of others.  He taught Buddhism not only to students at Naropa University in Boulder, CO, but also to individuals serving time in prison, speaking to his belief and hope that all could find solace in the power of meditation. 

My Uncle had a brilliant mind, and I could never beat him in chess.  He was influential to me and bought me my first book on Buddhism- Start Where You Are by Pema Chodron- which I strongly connected with and which inspired me to find my own  Buddhist community in Dallas, TX.

My fondest memory was when he and his friend Kathleen met my girlfriend and I and some other friends for my fortieth birthday in Santa Fe, NM.  We had a wonderful meal that night and shared a great deal of joy and laughter.  His presence made it truly special.  I will miss him dearly.

My Uncle Lloyd was a kind and gentle person to me while I was growing up. When he was living in Inwood Park, NYC in the early 70's, I would sit on his shoulders and we would watch the Columbia football games in the stadium across the street through the apartment window. He was so tall I thought he was a football player too. He also taught me how to play chess when I was about 8-years-old after he moved to Riverdale.  He took the time to sit with me and explain the game. These are my fondest memories and I will miss him. I always thought I would have the opportunity to see him again and I am deeply saddened at his passing.  Into the arms of God may you rest in peace Uncle Lloyd. With love, your nephew Greg

I am so sorry to hear about Lloyd.  He and I got together maybe every few weeks at Walden Ponds in Boulder to go for a walk and talk.  This was one of the highlights of my time on earth.  Lloyd was a kind, sensitive, caring, intelligent man, and I will miss him terribly.  Henry

I painted this brick for you, I wish you would have been able to see it before you passed. I know you would have loved it.

Dad, what a lonely, sad, painful,way for you to part, I wish we had more family & friends to remember you, your life, your kindness.  You were my protector, you would have done anything for me with love. I am really going to miss you with all my heart. All the things we've done together, shared, enjoyed our quality time as father & daughter. Those memories will always be cherished, the memories will always be with me.  I love you so much with all my heart. All my love, Jennifer.
