I think about Uncle Lloyd often. I remember visiting the family house in Almont when I was a kid. I loved the way all of you say down at the dining table to eat dinner together. We didn't do that at our house very much so it was special to me. Miss you.

These anniversaries provide an outlet for our thoughts about Lloyd and Dorothy that we often have but don’t express. Both of my parents were admirable in many ways for who they were and their many talents.

Dad not only rebuilt engines, but repaired clocks. Dad was a musician, used to teach music, and always encouraged my sons in their musical pursuits. Mom also played the piano and was a talented painter. She also took over as Den Mother and did a great job.

I am a swing and ballroom dancer. I often think about mom and dad dancing to the original big bands in Detroit’s Roseland Ballroom to the Glen Miller Band, etc.In Almont they did Square Dancing in the hall about the fire department.

I also think about dad’s parents a lot, who I visited a lot as a child. Grandpa would call Grandma Mommy. She called him Daddy. They took naps after lunch and had coffee with cookies in the afternoon on their front porch.

Mom and Dad liked to go out to breakfast together every day. Then they went to an early dinner. They knew all the bargain places that did homestyle cooking. They drove to NJ for each of my four son’s births.

I feel lucky to have had these two people as parents.

Today is my Dad's 97th Birthday. It was heartwarming reading the remembrances from family and friends. Mom passed 8 years earlier at the age of 84. I was lucky to have two terrific parents who instilled in me my love of music, humor, nature, food, politics, hard work, education, and family. I have memories of going to visit our grandparents, White Lake, Ludington, family reunions on both sides of our family. We did a lot of camping in Michigan State Parks. Growing up in Almont, MI was fun with Homecoming Celebrations/Parades. Dad worked at the Detroit Tank Arsenal. For Almont's Centennial he brought a tank on a trailer to drive in the parade and for kids to climb on. Dad helped me build a baseball field in our backyard with Home Run Fences, Backstop, and dugouts. My own field of dreams. We'd organize two teams to play there. Dad also built a basketball backboard for me to practice in our driveway, which resulted in being the only Sophomore to make the Varsity, and scoring 20 points in our first game. So many memories.

Dave, Larry, Chris, and Peggy. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Growing up as next door neighbors I remember Lloyd and Dorothy well. You were good people, Lloyd hard working and stood up for his beliefs, and Dorothy was a loving mother and a pleasant lady. It is difficult to lose someone you love. May they rest in peace.

Grandpa Lloyd I will always remember being a wise advisor a great inspiration an anchor for the entire family, an historical and analytical encyclopedia, a great friend and playmate for me as a grandson. Time spent with Grandpa will be cherished as it is precious, and I will always give thanks to God when I remember that I am only here because of him, I am who I am because of him.

I used to see my uncle, aunt, and cousins when I was growing up. I knew my uncle as a child would know an adult. The last few years, I was honored to get to know him as a person, adult to adult. What I will remember most is his sense of humor. I will miss that humor and him.

Lloyd, If you were still alive, I would say to you that you were a difficult person to deal with at times, BUT.. you had a certain sense of what was right and you insisted on that, with a sense of humor! Your grandsons, Joel, Paul, Todd and Ross will always remember that "funny" side of you and always treasure that, I will too..  I wish peace for you in your afterlife.

I'll always regret not having been able to spend more time with Uncle Lloyd and Aunt Dorothy as a child but I'll always cherish the phone time we had as an adult...how he loved to reminisce about the good old days, you could feel how much he loved his life, his friends and especially his family. He was a good man and will be missed very much.

We will always be proud of you Dad for your service during WWII in Europe, as our father, married to Mom, Dorothy, for 62 years before her death, and for being the wonderful grandfather and uncle that you were.

My sister and I were just talking recently about how Uncle Lloyd used to get rid of our hiccups.  He would put his finger between our eyebrows and start talking softly.  We would be concentrating so hard on his finger and his words that our hiccups would go away.  Seemed like magic when we were kids.

I have fond and loving memories of my brother Lloyd as a good son, brother, father, husband, and friend.
I can picture him and dad with their heads under the hood of a car, working away.
He used to tell my dad that I was sassy when we were young but as the years went by we enjoyed each other and each other's families.
He will be missed by all of our family.  We enjoyed his sense of humor and his loving thoughtfulmess.  We were lucky to have him for 91 years.
Our thoughts are with his family.
May he and Dorothy rest with each other in peace.     

My family

Growing up my sister, brother and I thought we were the only Yennior's in the world. We never knew our uncles and aunts or cousins on the Yennior side. Our grandmother Yennior died when I was a baby. All my life i wondered what happened to all the brothers and sisters my dad had and sometimes mentioned. It was like a part of me was missing. I found some Yennior's on the internet and contacted them, not knowing if I would here anything back. I got a wonderful letter from LLoyd Yennior telling me everything he could remember about my family. It was so wonderful to find out that we weren't alone, and that we did have Aunts and Uncles and even a grandfather. By finding out about my family from Lloyd I was able to understand my dad. To know what made him who he was. I am forever thankful to Lloyd for that info and to opening my eyes to a whole new part of my family. I am grateful that I had the chance to talk to Lloyd, who was the last of his and my dads generation. Thank you Lloyd for giving me my family....
