Lloyd was a Hull Maintenance technician for the United States Navy. He served his country honorably until he retired after 22 years in 1994. Although he worked aboard ships, Lloyd’s real passion was classic cars. He was a car enthusiast inside and out. He owned several classic cars, but his all-time favorite was a candy apple red, 1962 Starfire. Lloyd was a member of several car clubs and loved going to car shows. He was proud of his 1951 and 1954 Chevy, which he enjoyed showing off. Oddly enough, his favorite movie also included a car, “Christine”. He enjoyed watching movies with his grandchildren, especially, "California Kid" and "Cool Hand Luke". In his free time, Lloyd enjoyed traveling, going fishing, and playing jokes on his family and friends. No matter what was going on, Lloyd would always stop to help a family member or friend in need. He truly had a heart of gold.
A celebration of Lloyd’s life will be held at 5:00 PM on Sunday, November 24, 2024, at Brockman Boeckman Funeral Home, Fort Recovery. Burial will take place at a later date in Swamp College Cemetery.
