    So very sorry for your loss. We loved OC! BOTH your parents were the best of the best!

    Your whole family made me and Tony feel like we were part of it when the kids were growing up. We so appreciated that, with us being so far from our families in Virginia.

    We miss you all so very much and hope you know we share your grief and love you all!

    Love, Tony & Sharon Lloyd

    I met O.C. for the first time in 1983 when we both worked on a district office conversion team for American General Life and Accident. He was a delight to work with; quiet, efficient, a good sense of humor and very popular with the other members of the conversion team. O.C. was a gentleman in every sense of the word and will be missed by those who knew him.

    Dear Debbie and Dottie and entire family
    I am so sorry that we have been out of town and were not able to be here for your dear dad’s service. Patricia did call and give me the sad news and I am so sorry that we were not here to see all of you. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers because I know how very difficult it is to loose a wonderful parent. It does become hard to realize that “we” are the head’s of the family now. I will continue to send love and prayers your way.
    Much love at this sad time
    Suzanne and Joe
