After retirement Lloyd started his day with his coffee group and attempted to solve the world's problems. Following coffee, you could find him collecting and selling his antiques and collectibles.

Dear Jean and family . I cannot fully express my deepest sympathies to you. Lloyd was an amazing man who I had so much respect for. My career at New York Life only happened because of his support. He was the “best boss” ever and taught me so much. He was a sincere & caring man with great values. Condolences to you all. Ruth Sprankel
