Sorry to hear of Lloyd’s passing. I have many memories of him, starting from childhood when they never missed a dance at Volborg. I especially remember a dance at the Carey-Malone that I had worn quite a tight skirt and was trying to dance with Mr. Giant Strides! He was also Chairman of the Board when I taught the Coalwood School and was a great person to work for. A kinder person did not exist.
Vic and Laura Lee Ullrich says
I was saddened to hear opf Lloyd’s passing. I remember all of the Carter family and time spent with my Carter cousins including all of our days at the country schoolhouse. I am sure Lloyd and Betty are waltzing across heaven as no one else could do. My sympathies to David, Danny, Dwayne, Donnie, Carol, Clifford, Craig and Patty and all of your families.
