Hi, my name is Karen Chandler and I am employed at Safe Harbor Water Power Corporation where I knew Lloyd as one of our retirees over the past 18 years. I always liked Lloyd and found him to be especially bright and of good spirit and one of the sweetest people I ever met. As he almost always attended all the Safe Harbor functions, I tried to always help him with getting his food from the buffet line when he became more dependent on his walker. I will miss seeing him at the Willow Valley grocery and our future functions. He loved the Lord and I know he is in heaven rejoicing with his beloved wife Florence.
We met Lloyd and Florance when they first attended the Friends of Israel Bible study which met once a month in Lancaster. They had a great love for the Lord and the Jewish people. I can just hear Lloyd saying Oh yes, two words he used often. Someday we will meet with Lloyd and Florence again in heaven.
Dr. & Mrs. William Curtis
