On August 28th, 1970, they were married and remained happily so for 56 years. Together they raised three children, Brenda-Lee, Tonya, and Paul.

Lloyd was a hardworking man who held several jobs over the years, including lobster fisherman, tommy's arm drum barker, logger, and janitor, until he retired.

Next to his family, one of his passions was the great outdoors. He was his happiest spending time in nature. Whether he was on a salmon river, setting his traps and snares, berry picking, a day in the woods, or just a day "on the water".
