Lloyd was born and raised in Elmvale and served on a private yacht for 9 years. He met his wife of 63 years in Walkerton while he worked at the Queen’s Hotel. His adventures took him to British Columbia while he worked for the Delta Hotel chain as a server.
Lloyd and Joyce returned to Ontario in 1975 when they purchased the Cosy Restaurant in Teeswater. He became a famous baker with his honey-dipped donuts. He delivered his baking in the local area. They started the Meals-on-Wheel program for seniors in Teeswater. He knew how to stuff a turkey and his roast beef was delicious.
Horseracing, his dune buggy, playing cards, his golf cart and snowmobiling were his passions. He took his kids and grandkids along for the ride. He loved to sunbathe with a cold one. His smile and laugher will always be remembered.
