To the family of David Lloyd: He brought us laughs and poignant thoughts, comfort during tough times and thousands of major memories of enjoying all of these brilliant shows with our families and friends over all those years. He set a precedent of writing excellence. He will truly live on forever through all that he brought us, and all that he will continue to bring us in our re-watchings. I am so sorry for your loss and hope that you are all coping ok... Please remember- he will always be alive through all of what he gave us! It is absolutely without a doubt, that he bettered and most likely extended countless of other lives with all of that laughter! What a gift to the world...

So sorry to see him go. What a great legacy of laughs.
Thank you, Mr. Lloyd.

Good thing Mr. Lloyd managed to continue on late in life.

Gary Goldberg, producer of Family ties, Spin City and his pal Marta Kauffman, producer of "Friends" would have thrown his scripts away because he was over 29.

DJL: thank you for leaving a note. I've corrected the date. Sorry about your loss.

Thanks for your kind words about my father. However, please correct. He died on the evening of the 10th, surrounded by family. Not the 11th. We appreciate the tribute.

Very sad...Bob, I hate to use this news to nitpick, but maybe you could have mentioned that David's son Christopher is also an acclaimed sitcom writer, and co-creator of Modern Family?

That's one hell of a resume. Some of the greatest TV of all time listed there. Unfortunately his death will go largely unnoticed by the general public because he wasn't a household name.

How sad. A bunch of his sitcoms are favorites of mine, especially Taxi, Cheers, Mary Tyler Moore, The Bob NewHart Show, and Wings. May he rest in peace and be remembered for the many years of laughs he provided.
