  1. I have known Mr. Wilson for several years and would visit with him often. I loved to hear his stories about his younger years in the military and also as a painter and always looked forward to seeing him.
    He loved his family very much and was proud of them. He always told me that he felt blessed and he was looking forward to his 80th birthday. I will miss our visits and feel blessed to have known him

  2. Our family absolutely loved Lloyd! He always joined us when we had family gatherings at Ussery Roan. He loved to play with my grandchildren. When our family was together recently at Ussery, Lloyd began to sing “Jesus Loves Me” as he often did but this time I joined singing with him. So glad my daughter got a video of that moment. We were looking forward to throwing Lloyd a big 80th birthday party as we promised him we would do but now he is celebrating big in heaven! Thank you Lloyd for the memories. Blessings and prayers for your family!

    1. Lloyd was my Mom’s best buddy at Ussery. They would trade compliments and jabs all the time. My Mom loved to sing the Navy song with him or Air Force sing. My Mom passed away in December. Lloyd will be missed. Carole Lara
