I am deeply saddened to hear of Uncle Lloyd's death. I have many fond memories. Recalling back, we anxiously waited for your arrival at Christmas each year to Grandma Edwards home. Then there were the memorable family visits to your home as a youth followed by the yearly ski trips with friends when we stayed with you (including at a time when your home was being shown for sale and we marched in with many ski bags and winter clothes). We will always remember the year we arrived to a snow storm and Uncle Lloyd plowing us out of your home in New Hampshire. And another year, where he took a friend to the hospital because of a broken leg while the rest of us selfishly continued to go skiing the next day. Uncle Lloyd's joy, faith and positive demeanor will be something that I will always cherish in my heart.
Love,
Dan Demianenko
