Dear Margo;
I was very saddened to learn of Lloyd’s passing. My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family. With Lloyd’s dedication and encouragement, combined with his team building and coaching skills he brought together a diverse if not disparate group of Esquimalt teenage girls to develop one of the best, if not best, Jr. Women’s Softball Teams in the League. I’ll never forget when you came to one of our practices and quietly revealed that you and Lloyd were engaged!
Sincerely,
Jodie M. Wilson
Dear family,
We are sorry to hear of Lloyd’s passing and on behalf of our CRA retirees group, we extend our heartfelt sympathy to each of you. Lloyd was a valued co-worker, not only as a team player, but also for often sharing a story and a good laugh. You have our condolences.

Margo and Family,
So very sad to hear of Lloyds passing. My heartfelt condolences go out to you Margo and the family. I met Lloyd and Margo at the Victoria Shamrocks games. Since moving to the Q Centre we all sat in the same section with so many great fans, I especially loved my chats with Lloyd before every game and through many intermissions at his spot outside the Q Centre. He was a true people person and oh so many fans and friends would stop and chat while Lloyd held court I learned a lot by listening to the lacrosse banter and oh so many laughs. Shamrock games won’t be the same without Lloyd there, I will truly miss Lloyd and want to thank him for all he’s done for the Shamrock Lacrosse teams over the years RIP Friend, Sue

I was so sad to read of Lloyd’s sudden passing. He was a great neighbour when I lived on Broadway and I loved his flower garden. Even though we lost touch after I moved from the complex, I still missed his great smile and bag of fresh produce often left on my doorstep! Condolences to Margo and family.
