I was so saddened to learn today of the passing of Lloyd, my old boss and mentor from the 1970’s with Bow Valley in Asia. In 1978 he introduced me to Vietnam where 33 years later I still reside. He was the first explorationist in the country after the war; still remembered amongst his former Vietnamese colleagues in Hanoi as the real pioneer, the one who overcame all the challenges in the post war embargoed country and drilled the first two wells. In those early days he taught me so much and gave me a lasting example for honesty, integrity, determination, while also being a very caring person, a ‘very nice guy’ with a great sense of humor. I will certainly miss him and wish I had kept closer in touch in the last few years. Rest in peace my old friend with the knowledge that you did a lot of good in your life and left many fond memories and good examples to those still here.

Toute la famille réunie chez Josiane vous adresse ses condoléances pour le départ de LLOYD,

Nous avions apprécié son humour et sa gentillesse lors de son passage en Bretagne en 1998 et lors du mariage de Hasley & Jourdan.

En ce lundi, nous sommes de tout coeur avec vous et nous pensons au grand vide qu’il laisse après lui.

Avec toute l’affection de la Famille de Marcel.

“God make his light to shine upon you”

May your memories bring you comfort. Memory is a special place in our hearts where we can find comfort in the treasured thoughts of those we hold dear. May it help to know that others care deeply and are remembering you with special thoughts. Wishing Bea and the Flood family comfort and peace at this difficult time.

Bea: It is with great saddness that Gerry & I read about Lloyd’s passing. Lloyd hired me as accountant at CDP in about 1967. We worked together may times especially in taking the company public. We spent many lunches at the Petroleum Club on both business and pleasure. We met you a few times at company functions and enjoyed it greatly. Unfortunately we could not be with you on today but our thoughts and prayers were there.

God Bless

Bob & Gerry

Barb and Marcel and family

I am so sorry for your loss. Dads and Granddads are a lifetime of memories and special relationships. May God confort you as he welcomes Lloyd into the health and freedom of heaven. I am very sorry I couldn’t attend the celebration of his life earlier today.

Thinking of you Bea and your family. Always enjoyed seeing Lloyd come in to the clinic with his engaging smile, his jokes and his “caring”. He will be missed. Eileen – SC Medical Clinic

My thoughts are with you, as you share warm and comforting memories of a life well lived.

We had a good visit this morning! Great day for golf . the furry gang

Dear Bea,

Please accept our sincere sympathy to you and your family on the loss of Lloyd. George McLeod wanted to be sure we were notified and I really appreciate it.

Betty Ann and I have fond memories of you both in Singapore which seems like yesterday. Lloyd was so good to me and I recall those late night flights back to Singapore from Jakarta when he would share his wisdom with me over the top of his glasses with those flashing eyes elfish grin. Those golf games at the Singapore Island Club with Lloyd, Vern Williams and Ed Bybel were special.

I am very fortunate to have had him as a friend, will always remember him and truly miss him. I’ll bet he’s up there giving wisdom to God right now!

Please let us know if we can ever help you Bea.

Much Love

Betty Ann and Al Baker

Dear Bea,

John and I are very sorry to hear of Lloyd’s passing. He was a charming man and John always enjoyed golfing with him. He will certainly be missed around Canyon Meadows. We are in Arizona so won’t be able to attend the Celebration of his Life but our thoughts will be with you and your family.

Bea and Family:

It s with great sadness that we read this morning about the passing of our dear friend Lloyd.

He was one of those shinning personalities you looked forward to seeing or bumping into at the “club”. Always had a good story to tell and was always so upbeat. You always felt your day was a little brighter after a conversation with Lloyd.

I’m certain he will be missed by all …

I know our Lord will have a place for such a wonderful sole.

Again our condolences.

Selby and Annette

On the first day at work in the Singapore office, I drafted a letter to Head Office for Lloyd’s signature. My draft letter was returned with a note from Lloyd that read “If your letter is worth sending, sign your name. We do not have a signing hierarchy in this office”.

Little did I realize that Lloyd has already initiated his dream vision to train Asian professionals to eventually take over the helm of management and leadership of company operations in Asia. He created a conducive work environment for hands-on learn on-the-job apprenticeship. Lloyd was a hard task master demanding a high standard of professionalism but he did it with wisdom and wit, fairness, compassion, kindness and generosity. His philosophy was to operate lean and mean to have the advantage of fast decision-making and fast action follow up. Coupled with his engineering, logistics, and economic analysis of a drilling prospect, his operations was probably one of the most efficient and cost effective. He also taught us the art of negotiating and the importance of good realationship with state regulatory bodies and venture partners. All these multi-facet work disciplines, we had to learn fast to meet Lloyd’s expections of us as his understudy. I am very thankful and feel fortunate to have been a part of his dream vision come true when he turned over the helm to his Asian succesor. Lloyd was my mentor and great friend.

Lloyd’s main career passion was making exploration deals which he called making movies. Even after retirement, he always talked about making another movie. But I believe his real passion was helping the poor and the needy. He helped a Vietnamese family refugee to settle down in Canada and his contributions in making the Lombok, Indonesia clean-water project a huge success is truly a labor of love and a great service to the habitat for humanity. He also has a gift for the spoken language. His ability to connect with the man in the street in Indonesia is due to his fluency in Bahasa Indonesia which was an envy of native speakers of the language.

Lloyd, on behalf of people whose lives you touched, we are privileged to join your family in honoring your legacy of kindness and generosity. Your memory will reside in our hearts.

Lloyd knew the joys of being alive. His tenets of love of family, appreciation of friends and associates, value of work, and celebration of life were much appreciated in the many global locations that were part of his life. As a long time family friend, coach, advisor, purveyor of wry humor and sometimes golf buddy he was very special to me and will be dearly missed.

My condolences to Bea and the family. I know and feel your sorrow, but slowly and gently it will soften into wonderful memories. I love you all.

Roy Lindseth

Deepest condolences in your families loss, Craig.

Although I never had the honour of meeting your father, anyone who subscribes to the “apple falling from the tree” theory can surmise that he was truly a great and honourable man, just as his son has turned out to be.

Best Wishes, Craig

Dear Bea and family,

How saddened Cliff and I are to read that Lloyd has passed away. I was only a young girl when you and Lloyd and my parents, the Allans met. This was just the beginning of golfing, partying and travelling together for many years. I know how much fun you had and that they cherished your friendship.

It was only this past summer that Lloyd, looking the picture of health, approached our group at the first tee and in his distinctive voice said,, “Ok ladies, you have 60 seconds each to tell your health issues – and that’s it!” and we laughed along with him. He was always smiling and so friendly at the Club.

I am so sorry to miss the funeral Bea, as we are in California with Cliff’s family. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy.

Love and comforting thoughts to you and your family.

Affectionately,

Ashley and Cliff Proceviat

My deepest condolences and sympathy to the family on the demise of a “brother” and a “real friend”. I knew him for nearly forty years and the least I can say that he was a great person with a big heart. I will miss you Lloyd. Rest in peace my friend.

So sorry to hear about your loss. My sympathy goes out to you and your family at this difficult time.

Bea, Bill and I are shocked and saddened at Lloyd’s passing. We didn’t realize he had taken ill as we are in Victoria for 2 months. Sorry we won’t be with you for his service. All our love, Margaret

Dear Bea & Family:

So sorry to hear about Lloyd, he will be missed.

From your Rotary Friends & fellow Valley View School Volunteer – Don & Wendy Cameron

Bea! We wish to extend our condolences, unfortunately we will be unable to be there on Monday. Our thoughts will be with you.

Lloyd was a generous man full of compassion and always willing to help others. Thanks to his work end enthusiasm, over 10,000 villagers on the island of Lombok, Indonesia now have access to clean water. He will be sadly missed by the Rotary Club of Mataram, Lombok and people of Lombok. Our condolences go out to his family and loved ones. Howard Singleton, on behalf of the Rotary Club of Mataram, Lombok

With love to the whole family,

Thinking of you and wishing you peace and comfort in your memories of your wonderful dad, grandpa and husband. As you gather together in his honour, you know he’ll be proud of his legacy.

Much love from Martha

Lloyd was a father to me, he was a kind man and never stopped to offer words of wisdom, and there were many. We shared many good years working in Asia and also many years as good friends after Asia. He introduced me to many good things in life including the Rotary Club.

I will miss my good friend dearly and will never get a chance to beat him in golf. Love you LLoyd.

My deepest sympathy is with all of you at this difficult time.

I am very sorry for your loss. Craig regaled me with “Lloyd and Bea” stories over the years and I am sure that those fond memories will provide comfort at this difficult time.

I will always remember Lloyd’s kindness and support when my dad was sick, and the generous hospitality when I needed to stay in Calgary.

Thinking of you.

Lloyd was a great friend, a partner, a mentor to me. We first met when I was young petroleum banker and he was a distinguished petroleum exploration executive in Singapore. He taught me more about this industry than anyone I ever knew. He was the sharpest analyst of petroleum geology and engineering I ever met and I have met a lot. But those were his minor qualities. For Lloyd had the spirit of discovery and entrpreneurship that burned in him and he gave it others. At the end of the day, Lloyd’s mission was to discover oil for the people of some of the poorest countries on earth-Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.

For those of you in Canada who knew him in his beautiful Calgary, you should take comfort and pride that there are more individuals in Asia, from Singapore, from Indonesia, From Vietnam, from Hong Kong, from Japan and from China who grieve his loss as you do.

He was a pioneer who never avoided risk and did so with a constant sense of human fraility, with an enormous sense of humor and a generosity that inspired cynics to be trusting, forced dishonest men to behave honorably and to make all of his colleagues feel as if they were equal to him.

In other words, he was a hero to me. He was willing to take on the toughest challenges in his professon and give credit to others while, simultaneously, if something went wrong, overly apportioned the blame on himself. The truth is it was rare for anything to go wrong in doing business with Lloyd Flood.

His passion for golf was only exceeded by his passion for his family. Whenver we met he always had a story of pride about one of his children or of his beloved Bea, his partner for life.

Intelligence, courage, integrity, love and a undying belief in family and in his friends. You changed my life for only goodness.

I will miss you dearly, my friend. I am sorry I never had the nerve to tell you how much I loved you.
