Mortenson family: You won’t know me, but I play music every Tuesday at Cedar Crest. Lloyd wasn’t there often, but when he was, he had a huge smile on his face when I’d say, “Hi, Lloyd!” I will miss him.
Rodney and Carolyn Kurth says
Our sincerest thoughts and sympathies to all of Lloyds’ family and friends. Not only do I have memories through the Dvorak and Mortensons’, Rodney has a solid history of learning his trade of big equipment through Lloyd and boys. He has passed some of that knowledge onto his own boys and we are grateful for that gift. Rest in peace Lloyd.
