<div itemprop="description">MELLOR, J. Lloyd &ndash; <br />Peacefully at Glendale Crossing in London, ON, on Thursday, April 16th, 2015, at the age of 92. Only child of Harold and Leta (Wright) Mellor, of St. Marys and Strathroy. Loving husband of Muriel Stokes and Jean Muma Chambers, who predeceased him. Beloved Dad of Mary Lou (Peter), Pat (Doug), Keith (Jennifer), and David (Cie), and stepdad of Steven and Jim Chambers. Proud &ldquo;Gramps&rdquo; of Kate (Dustin), Jaime (Hayley), Russell, Elena, Mallory, and Abbey. <br />Lloyd had a full life &ndash; he trained as an RCAF pilot in WW2; graduated University of Western Ontario in 1948 &ndash; where he was a varsity athlete and BIG W Club member; original Larkfield Drive resident and member of the Church of the Ascension in Don Mills for 50 years. Former president of Stokes Cap &amp; Regalia, of Toronto, (now Stokes International) &ndash; he was well-known to police and fire chiefs across Canada as the supplier of uniform caps and regalia from 1949 until his retirement in 2000. R.W. Bro. Lloyd Mellor enjoyed an active life in Masonry: Worshipful Master of Georgina Lodge (1965), Georgina&rsquo;s Lifetime Achievement Award winner (2003); Past Grand Director of Ceremonies, Grand Lodge of Canada, Province of Ontario (1971); Scottish Rite Mason 33rd Degree; member of the Rameses Shriners. <br />To paraphrase Emerson &ndash; Lloyd laughed often (and loudly). His humility and his unassuming actions won the respect of intelligent people and the affections of children. He strove in his daily life be a good man and avoid false friends. He was &ndash; by this standard &ndash; a very successful man. His circle of good friends was wide and deep, and to them (and his family), Lloyd was an energetic, full-of-fun, and modest man who wrote in his own biography &ndash; &ldquo;from hard work comes great enjoyment.&rdquo; <br /></div>
