Sorry to hear of Lloyds passing. I was not able to attend funeral or the Sports Page. I have fond memories of our many visits to the Belmont Truck Stop and the many cups of coffee we had. At closing time we would return to our apartments on West Mound and spend more time in the lot just talking. (I missed him when he left for Platteville) (Many times we would talk past mid-night) Although Lloyd was 20 years older than me I could still kid around about that it was now the 21st century. (He kept up pretty well and history was always important to me and he was well versed on that.
