I had the privilege of working as an attorney for Lloyd Reed in The Mutual of New York Law Dept. Lloyd was simply one of the most extraordinary people I have ever met. He was a superb commercial real estate attorney, quick to spot issues and solve problems, but also so very patient with younger attorneys eager to learn. Lloyd, however, was far more than the consummate professional. He was extremely kind, with a remarkable consistency. He was unflappable no matter the crisis! He was always available and eager to help you. I used Lloyd for decades as my model for how to treat fellow employees. He was well-read, a joy to converse with on any subject. He often spoke in glowing terms of his family (how lucky they were to be in his presence for decades!!). At a critical time in my career, Lloyd came to my aid. His efforts changed the rest of my life for the better.
How much better our world would be if there were far more people like Lloyd!
God will soon learn that He gained a great lawyer to take care of all real estate matters relating to Heaven!!
