So sorry to read this just now. Oddly, I was just thinking about him just earlier this morning. Wonderful memories of him as he and Earline were very kind to me. I was grateful to have run into in 2015 during a visit to the Marissa area and was presently surprised that he remembered me given his advanced age at the time. Prayers for his family.

He was such a friendly and kind man. Our children remember him as one of their favorite bus drivers. When I would see him, he never failed to ask about our kids.

If memory serves, Allan was the best man when my mom and dad married. He was a good friend to my parents. He was a genuinely friendly, caring man. Much sympathy to the family.

Condolences to the family. I remember Mr Lloyd as one of the great Sunday school teachers I had growing up at the Baptist Church in the late 50s and 60s.
