To the Lloyd family,
I offer you my sorrow in hearing of Uncle Butch’s passing. I have many fond memories of him at the Rod & Gun Club and he had a large circle of friends. He always offered a smile and hand shake when he saw his friends. I will keep him in my prayers. May he rest in peace.
Scott Sr.
