It is with the deepest sympathy that we reach out to your family. We knew Lloyd through lacrosse. He was a gracious host and made our years with the Shamrocks organization very memorable. We send our most sincere condolences to Lloyd’s family and many friends.

My sincerest sympathy to Margo and family. Lloyd was a wonderful fellow gardener. My husband and I loved to talk with him at the garden. He was generous with his expertise and his onions. He will be missed by all.
Dear Margo and family.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I never met Lloyd, but I do remember when you started dating while we were in school around the same time as I met my husband. Please accept my condolences.

Condolences to Margo and the family. I’ll miss discussing the Shamrock with Lloyd. He’ll be truly missed.
I was surprised to hear of Lloyd,s passing.I think the last time that we we’re together was at Aunt Helen,s funeral in Surrey. Lloyd will be remembered by many in the sports world and his many hobbies.
My sister Betty is gone now, but one of her very precious times was in Victoria with her daughters and spending one evening with the Robbie family.
I want to pass on my condolences to all of the Robbie family. Love, Joan
