Two daughters, Janet Gustaveson and Lisa Burntson have preceeded him in death. Dad Served in the Navy during WWII. In his own words, “I credit my service in the Navy for gaining self-confidence, personal discipline and resourcefulness.” Those very characteristics were apparent throughout his employment, church service and family life. In addition he was fun and fun loving; curious and adventuresome; An artist and creator of gadgets. In considering why this man meant so much to so many people, I think it was because if you were 2 or 102 he listened when you talked. He enjoyed your company and you knew it. He loved you and you could tell. Dad loved His Father in Heaven and His Son Jesus Christ and taught all of us to do the same. He was grateful and expressed gratitude and taught all of us to be the same. He was patient and kind and taught all of us to do the same. When a great man like Lloyd leaves this world it leaves a giant hole that will be hard to fill. When a great man like Lloyd/husband/Dad/Grandpa loves you know you will be loved forever.
