Lloyd was raised in the rural Rolette home of his parents and received his education at Dewey School #2 in Rolette County.  On November 2, 1940, he was united in marriage to Muriel Tuff of Rugby at Rolla Lutheran Parsonage in Rolla.  Their son Daryl was born November 11, 1942.  The couple purchased a farm in Finnegan Township in 1943 where they raised their son Daryl, farmed and made their home.  Lloyd was a member of First Lutheran Church in Rugby, the Fraternal Order of Eagles in Rugby and for many years a member of the Loyal Order of Moose in Minot.  In 1987, the couple retired from the everyday farming operations and moved to Rugby.  He enjoyed dancing, card parties, visiting with friends and listening to his son’s band.  But most of all, he loved farming and spending time with his wife and family.
