for a decade. Mr Addison and his wife, Cynthia, ran Lloyds
Restaurant in London Street for 16 years, before retiring
in 1998 due to Mr Addison's ill health.

Lloyd was friend and mentor to me as a "new
boy" Labour County Councillor in 1997. I knew Lloyd as
a strong advocate to the new generations and his devotion
to young people and the concept of life long learning.
I will sadly miss him as a friend and an exemplar
of what it means to serve, learn and enjoy. His determination
to live and thrive was an inspiration to us all. May we all
who knew him remember his life and its meaning and purpose.

Lloyd's enthusiasm and motivation was matched by amazing
courage and dignity. I am proud to have known someone who
will be hugely missed by the City of Norwich!

I knew Lloyd during the time that he chaired
the County Council’s Adult Education Advisory Committee.
He was elected to the Chair at his first meeting in 1993
and it was a committee with which he clearly had a natural
affinity, since it looked at all aspects of adult learning
across the county to which he was so passionately committed.
He was one of the most engaged of his colleagues, concerning
adult community learning, on the county council of that
time. As such he took a real interest in the work which we
were
doing, including the early development of Adult Learners’ Week.
At
a later stage, after the onset of his illness, he invited
me to help him in researching a number of heritage activities
that his fertile imagination and extensive range of contacts
gave rise to. Had it not been for his increasing disability
some of these might yet have come to fruition.
Like his
hero Nelson, he was a tireless fighter.

So sad to hear about the passing of Lloyd.
I met him him 30 years ago when he and I were students on
the Development studies degree at UEA. He was passionate
about his politics even then, and I can remember many heated
meetings (and the odd occupation) that involved Lloyd. I
also visited his restaurant in the early days and was impressed
by his dedication and enthusiasm,something which he appears
to have continued and shared with others througout the rest
of his life.
