[NFBF-Tampa] sad news about one of our longtime chapter members

[tampa President]

Thank you Sherril for sharing! This is truly sad news. Lloyd was always there for our chapter right from our opening of the chapter. I asked that if you are free on Friday to please come and show your respects and support of one of our long time members. For those who know Lloyd it is easy for me to say that he is happy being back with his wife and is no longer suffering.

Lloyd, you may be gone, but you’ll never be forgotten. You truly made a difference in the chapter and in my life.

Your friend,

--

> Lloyd passed away on Sunday morning. His son has come down from New York. Lloyd’s funeral service will take place this Friday, February 17, at 11:00 at the Boza and Roel Funeral Home. The address is 4730 North Armenia Avenue. I don’t yet know whether there will be a lunch following the service. I will try to get more details at least by Thursday morning so those planning to attend will know when to make your return trip reservations.
