Lloyd moved with his father in July of 1948 from Saskatchewan. The rest of the family followed later that year. 

Lloyd worked in one of the many mills around Quesnel at the time. Eventually he worked for the City of Quesnel for over 34 years, retiring in 1989 as Superintendent of Utilities. Lloyd was also a member of the Quesnel Volunteer Fire Department for many years. 

He loved his sports, playing softball, hockey, curling and golfing. He was a very passionate card player to the end. Many years he and Marg attended the Quesnel Old Time Fiddlers dances which they loved. They travelled Canada many times from coast to coast to coast, explored back country BC, New Zealand and Australia. 

He will be missed and remembered by many life long friends.
