On Sunday, December 20, 2020, Lloyd Dressel retired after more than 40 years with Cooper/T. Smith Mooring and Crescent Towing. Lloyd began as a lineman in 1980 and became a dispatcher shortly before Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Lloyd excelled in his duties and will be missed as a valuable member of our team.

Crescent Towing – New Orleans held a small celebration for “Let Go Lloyd” where colleagues reminisced about hurricanes, old coworkers, and memorable stories from throughout the decades. Lloyd will be remembered most at Crescent Towing for his professionalism, dedication, and his many patented phrases like “Beautiful day at Crescent.”

Lloyd and his wife are retiring to St. Louis and are in the process of building their retirement home. He claims that he will remain a loyal LSU Tigers fan and will proudly wear the purple and gold during Fall Saturdays in St. Louis.

Lloyd, thank you for 40 years of dedicated service to the Cooper Group of Companies. We wish you and your family the very best in retirement and all future endeavors!
