They joined the Bartlesville First United Methodist Church and raised their two children, Derek and Jilinda in Bartlesville. Lloyd could be easily amused and laughed often. He was funny, humble and always made sure his family knew how much he loved and was proud of them. He enjoyed coaching his son in Little League baseball, Boys Club and YMCA basketball and assisting in flag football. He coached his daughter in YMCA basketball and softball. He was proud of his two grandkids and made sure to teach them how to shoot a basketball with THE correct form.

In their retirement years, they traveled with Truity Credit Union.
