Besides his family, Lloyd had several other passions. He was involved in competitive rifle shooting and even tried out for the Olympics! He has more trophies than room on his wall to display them! He loved cycling. He was a former president of the Pensacola Freewheelers Bicycling Club. During this time, he and his friend Dr. Rapier bicycled to the Live Oak Bike Festival. They were the oldest participants to cycle the furthest to the event. Lloyd also loved photography. If there was an opportunity to record a memory with a photo, he was on it!
Lloyd strongly believed in living by example. He believed a man is only as good as his word. He had a strong code of ethics, including be honest, give respect, work hard, play hard, and honor God and country.
Lloyd leaves behind Mary and their two daughters Julie and her husband Shawn, and Sheri and her husband Charles, along with 7 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.
Lloyd was truly a blessing to all who knew him and will be greatly missed.
