I was told about this incident a while back and was sadden to hear that Lloyd's son "Okeene" was shot by an unknown gunman. I was also sadden about Lloyd's wife "Ruth", had to explain while Lloyd was in absolute total shock. This happened right after "Okeene", accepted an award for his father an hour earlier.
Lloyd being already 80 years old, suffers a stroke 2 weeks later and passes away on May 3, 2012.
I have nothing more than respect & admiration to Jamaica's finest double bass player.
You will be missed Lloyd, and thank you for all your music & wisdom. RIP.
