Lloyd Podorski, Sr. 1934 – 2020

Celebration of Life

My dear husband of 23 years passed on October 23 of natural causes. He will be greatly missed by so many.

He knew the Lord and was a good man to everyone. He was kind and he was gentle. He drove trucks for more than 20 years for the teamsters, local 848. He was especially thrilled when he bought his own truck: a Peterbuilt with "Grandpa's Trucking" on the door.

Everyone knew him as "Grandpa" with the beautiful Peterbuilt, the big Texas bumper, and those tall stacks. He drove bottom dumps in the Antelope Valley for Rethi trucking. He had a beautiful truck and was so happy. He always said, "When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life."

We love you and miss you Grandpa. Now you're with your loved ones and the man you adored the most, your Dad.
