Lloyd’s mother, Zella, is my great aunt. I met her but I don’t believe I ever met Lloyd. I was looking at some genealogy today and came across this site. What a beautiful smile! I did know his twin brother Floyd and his wife Joann. I loved reading about him and I’m most certain he was a good and loving man. His mother was amazing. Rest In Peace.

So sorry to hear that my old neighbor (across the street in Lamar) has passed away. I saw a group of Gold Wing motorcycles in town just a few days ago and I thought of Lloyd. I saw him once here in town when he was with a group of cyclists. I was surprised to learn of his death. He looked like the picture of good health when I saw him at our class reunion last October.

I lived across the street from Lloyd and his family over 30 years ago. His daughters Aladee and AD were friends of mine. I always liked “Mr Lubbers” and remember him fondly. He would drive his golf cart to he Pueblo Golf Course and get in trouble for doing so. Didn’t stop him one bit. He just kept doing it. I will always remember him with a little chuckle in my heart!!!
I, Delbert was a 1944 Lamar class mate of Lloyd and Floyd. We, Delbert and Dot, were family friends when Lloyd and Bobby (Petrie) were married, and living in Lamar. Bobby and Dot was in a ladies neighborhood coffee group on South 11th in Lamar era 1948-1956 until we moved to Rocky Ford. Shortly after Lloyd and Bobby moved to Fowler, then later Rocky Ford.
We remember Dotty, Kris, and Kirk when they were little. We have many fond memories of those days. Our sympathy to all the family.
