                      IN MEMORY OF LLOYD REYNOLDS

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR.

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 15, 1997

  Mr. EHRLICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great sadness to pay 
tribute to a wonderful friend of mine, Mr. Lloyd Reynolds. Lloyd was 64 
years old when he was suddenly and prematurely taken from us last 
month. It is difficult for me to express the profound loss to me, his 
family, and the State of Maryland.
  Lloyd was born in Long Branch, NJ, and moved to Reisterstown, MD, 
when he was 16. He graduated from Franklin High School in 1950, and, 5 
years later, founded Reynolds & Yellott Co., a construction firm.
  Always interested in farming, Lloyd raised cattle, pigs, and turkeys 
near his home. He became increasingly involved with the farming 
community and was president of the Baltimore County Farm Bureau at his 
death. One of his greatest concerns was the loss of quality farmland to 
commercial developers, and he sought alternative ways for farmers to 
get equity out of their land without having to sell for such 
development.
  Lloyd was also involved in community service of another kind. A 
staunch Republican in a State where Democrats outnumbered Republicans 
by a ratio of three to one, Lloyd was a Republican candidate for 
Lieutenant Governor of Maryland in 1982 and 1990. Although both 
attempts were unsuccessful, being involved was a way of life for Lloyd 
Reynolds.
  I could always rely on Lloyd for advice about farming or small 
business issues because I knew he would be candid and sincere with me. 
He was always unselfish and genuinely concerned about others--qualities 
that defined him as a unique human being.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to send my condolences to Lloyd's wife of 43 
years, Barbara, and his entire family. I will miss him a great deal. At 
the same time, I remain most thankful that Lloyd Reynolds was a part of 
my life over the past 12 years.
