He and his father bought a farm in Olin in 1956 where he farmed until 2004.

Lloyd met Kathleen J. Hoag on a blind date, August 8, 1958. They were married in Monticello, IA on November 30 of the same year. Kathleen passed away in 2003

and Lloyd sold the Olin farm in 2004 and moved to Anamosa, later to Marion, and back to Anamosa in 2018 where he felt he was at home.

Lloyd was a 60 year member of the Olin Masonic Lodge and he was also a member of the First Congregational United Church of Christ, Anamosa. Lloyd loved people and a good social gathering; he always had a great story about almost any situation.

Lloyd told his family that each word for an obituary cost 25 cents. He said just put in the paper: “Andre’s dead…that’s .50 cents.” He was never without a good sense of humor. He will be missed, but will finally be at home with Kathleen and Sam.
