LLOYD H DRAYSON March 14, 1924 - March 15, 2017 It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother-in-law. Lloyd was predeceased by his brother Ross (Mildred); son Darryl, and granddaughter Heather Swain. Surviving is Lloyd's loving wife Louise (Pinette) of 70 years; daughter Sherron (Bill) McLean; son Duane (Roselene); grandson Derek (Sarah); great-granddaughter Lily; daughter-in-law Gloria; granddaughter Dallas (Justin) Gogol; great-grandson Ryder; special sister-in-law Lucille Good and, his two nieces Robyn (Garth) and Leona. Lloyd was a very quiet man by nature and cared deeply for his family, always putting them first. In his early years he was a grain manager at Manitoba Pool Elevators in Franklin; later employed with the Canadian Grain Commission in Winnipeg; and always well respected by his customers and co-workers. He was a Royal Canadian Legion and Elks Lodge member for many years. Dad was very clever with design and construction. He built a boat, house trailer and many cabins that were moved to his favorite family retreat at Clear Lake; and we still enjoy the last cabin he designed. He enjoyed fishing, boating, curling, socializing with friends and dancing. We can never thank Dad enough for the guidance and fatherly love he provided, and we will always remember his cute little welcoming smile. Golden Door Geriatric Centre has been Dad's home for the past three years. The family thanks Dr. Ross, the Golden Door staff, and members of the Victoria General Hospital and Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service for the kind, gentle and compassionate care they provided to Lloyd and the family. At Lloyd's request, there will be no service. Interment will take place at Riverside Cemetery in Neepawa, MB. at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in his memory to a charity of your choice. NEIL BARDAL FUNERAL CENTRE 204-949-2200 neilbardalinc.com
