Uncle Lloyd was one of the good men to have in one’s life. For my cousins he must have been great to have as a dad. For brother, my sister, myself, and all our other cousins we will always remember him as a good man to have as an uncle. It was always clear that he loved Aunt Margaret and his family. Like my dad, I think some of his personality was shaped by his service in the Korean War. When my folks visited several years ago, I was able to take them to see the Korean War Veteran’s Memorial, and we noted that they had a stone engraved just for those like Uncle Lloyd, wounded during that war.
For Kathy, Rodney, Bruce, and Tony, we will hold you in our thoughts.

So sorry to just hear about Lloyd’s passing. I first met Lloyd at Menasha, where I got to know him prior to his retirement. I would then see him from time to time around town, especially when he served in the VFW Honor Guard. He was extremely friendly, always with a kind word and a smile on his face. Appreciate Lloyd’s service to his country, his years of employment with Menasha, and his positive impact on the local community. Thoughts and prayers to his family.
