We are so sorry for your loss. We have wonderful memories with all the many years we knew him.Rest In Peace Lloyd.
Bonnie and Lloyd spent many years at farm sales with my parents, Marvin and Phyllis Eschenbaum. Marvin and Lloyd were always 'tinkering' with something. We had a wringer washing machine (pink I think) and Daddy had taken it to Lloyd's. They had some 'grand scheme' for it. (Probably still in the shop) They worked on dirt track race cars and anything that had an engine. Lloyd was a dear friend of my father and he would wish him safe passage to 'tinker' on something new with him. (Hopefully, heaven has stuff for those two to 'tinker' with.)
Orient has lost another Legend. Lloyd was involved in many things to help out the community. This man could make, build, or MacGyver most anything. He was a very talented man and always seemed to have a smile on his face. Fly high Lloyd!
So sorry to hear of Lloyd's passing. He has always been my favorite cousin even though we didn't get to see each other much. I can almost see the house he grew up in from my front door now that the leaves are dropping from the trees. We had many great times together in our younger days. Prayers of peace to all the family.
So sorry to hear, have many found memories will be truly missed God be with your family as you are all in our prayers.
My parents, Carroll and Margaret Morford also spent many times with Lloyd and Bonnie at auction sales. Carroll also liked to "fix" and putter, so he and Lloyd worked on lots of stuff together. Could always go to Lloyd's shop to look for just the right piece of something to make a "Morford patent" to some piece of machinery. I also spent time at sales with them and so enjoyed visiting with him. You will be missed Lloyd. God bless you, Bonnie and your family.
So very sorry for your lose
My thoughts and prayer are with Lloyds family. Had many memories knowing Lloyd from the race tracks. Don (32) and Lloyd will probably be reminiscing old times at the track!
