Lloyd was devoted to his family and a few old friends, taking special care to keep in yearly touch with a Dutch family he had met and become close to while in the Army. He rarely spoke of his wartime experiences except to remember with affection and sometimes tears the all-black company he had supervised and come to respect and admire during his service in the states. He said that he had learned more from those men -some ten or more years older than he, many unschooled -about human and race relations than from any other experiences he had before or after. Lloyd was astonishingly frugal in his own personal life and steadfastly generous to his family and friends and the causes he believed in. He loved to work with his hands, especially with wood. He built a National One Design which he sailed on Lake Leelanau for many years. He loved his home but his hearts joy was really his Lake Leelanau cottage, which he built with a friend and where he enjoyed making and fixing things and watching the changing colors of sky and water. He loved his church, but he was embarrassed when anyone suggested that he was a religious person. One of his wife Nancy's fond memories is his answer to her question, Just exactly what is a talisman?, Lloyd replied, Its a semi-religious object; sort of like me. A memorial service will be held 3 p.m. Saturday at the Memorial Christian Church, 730 Tappan, Ann Arbor. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be made to Memorial Christian Church Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice or to a charity of ones choice.
