LLOYD C. CANTIN

BRISTOL — It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the passing of our dearest Lloyd. A fierce and loyal friend, brother, son and uncle, Lloyd will forever be remembered for his devotion to those he loved and how he met each day with acceptance and gratitude. Lloyd was a lover of nature and loved to fish. He knew the deep pools of Addison County’s rivers better than anyone. Lloyd loved Bristol, the town he called home, the beauty of which he never took for granted. A gentle and caring soul, Lloyd touched the lives of so many and will be missed, always.

Lloyd was predeceased by his mother and father, Shirley and Rudy Cantin; big brothers John Baker and Leo Cantin; younger brother David Cantin; his nephew DJ; and his girlfriend Carol Huestis. Lloyd is survived by his sister Corrine Cantin and her husband Jim Chaloux of Bristol; his brother Charles Cantin of Burlington; his nieces Christy Cantin Grugnale and Candy Cantin Patch of Maine; his nephews Christopher Cantin (Brooke) and Phillip Cantin (Quinn) of Bristol; and his sisters-in-law Arlene Cantin of Maine and Taunia Cantin of Bristol. Lloyd leaves behind many dear friends, including James Ashenfelter, Jessica Lindert, and Lauren Ringey, whose worlds were brightened by Lloyd’s presence.

Family and friends want to thank Helen Porter Nursing Home and Addison County Home Health and Hospice for their dedicated and loving care of Lloyd.

Calling hours and burial are deferred until spring, and information regarding services will be available at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society. ◊
