Following his education, he served in the United States Marine Corps and was stationed at both Camp Pendleton and Parris Island. He was on high alert during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Lloyd had a strong work ethic, and even in retirement, he worked part time at the Tripoli Post Office. He was a long time member of Faith United Church of Christ in Tripoli, where he served on the church council as President, tolled the bell, and was on the pastoral search committee.
Lloyd loved to garden, warm weather, Bronco Billie’s, and watching sports, especially the Dallas Cowboys.
He also was passionate about horses, and in his younger years he traveled the Midwest showing and selling horses. He was state champion in Cutting Horses several times.
Lloyd had many interests, but his greatest treasures were the time he spent with his family.
