Lawrence CLOYD Obituary
Age 84, passed away on November 28th, 2021, at Kettering Hospital. He was born December 31, 1936, in Frankfort, KY, the eldest son and preceded in death by his parents Lawrence and Virginia (Ellis) Cloyd, his younger brother Phillip (Buster) Cloyd, his niece Lara Wilfong and his very much loved kitty "Sweetie".
Larry lived and worked most of his life in Dayton with the exception of a few short years spent in California. He graduated from the University of Dayton with a Masters Degree in Special Education.
He loved and enjoyed philosophizing about life, carving flutes out of wood, his family, animals, art, photography, music, and the outdoors. He taught the art of woodworking to severely disabled young adults in the MRDD Special Education program in Dayton.
He was fiercely independent, had a silly sense of humor, and was very creative.
Larry is remembered by both his first and second wife.
Larry is survived by his 2 sisters, Janet C. Wilfong and Keith Elaine (KeeKee) Schuh (Wayne), his daughter Rebeka Cloyd and son David Cloyd, his 2 nieces Tamara Roddy and
Genevieve Barnett, his 3 grandchildren, Alli, Logan,and Luke Cloyd, his 4 grandnieces and grandnephew and various cousins and extended family. He was very loved and will be missed.
No services will be held. The family will hold a private memorial in the Spring.

My sympathy to Larry's family. I knew Larry when we lived in the 70's. He was forever a Hippy inside, but quite artistically talented. He made some very beautiful silver rings. Went to California with his friend Dennis and I, singing and chatting all the way, to see a friend who lived there. He was a good person who always cared about his students and his friends, giving to them any way he could.
