I will always have the fondest memories of Poppy. I felt like I knew him forever the first night we met at "eyes to the skys". I loved sharing Easter dinner together. How can anyone become so dear so quickly? Its amazing.

Dear Uncle Lloyd,
I will always remember the fun times our whole family had at your house in Westchester during holidays. I will never forget babysitting Buffy, Kim's dog. He was always my favorite dog and I wasn't allergic to him!
I will miss the memories of you but will never forget.
Love, Janene

Sending our love, prayers and deepest condolences to Aunt Shirley, Kim and the whole family. Uncle Lloyd will be sorely missed by us. He was a wonderful uncle whom we'll always fondly keep alive in our memory and conversations. And when our Alexander family history story is complete, he'll be remembered for his contribution to our DNA family genealogy, forever linking us to our historical Niall (Irish) ancestors.

God bless you, Uncle Lloyd, and thanks for sharing your love and life with all of us.

Love always,
Regina & Glenn
