Lloyd Scaggs Obituary
80, of Martinsville, passed away peacefully, June 7, 2016. Born October 21, 1935, he graduated from Emmerich Manual Technical High School in 1954 and went on to attend Wabash College. After being drafted, he served in the US Army in the 82nd Airborne Division as a paratrooper. He later graduated from Indiana Central College, and went on to pursue a 40 year career as a chemist at Eli Lilly.
He is survived by his adoring wife of 52 years, Sondra (Macy) Scaggs, his daughter Seana Scaggs, and son Bradley Scaggs. In addition to his wife and children, Lloyd is blessed by and survived by such an extended family and so many friends it is too long to list.
While there will be no visitation, a Celebration of Life service will be held Saturday, June 25, at 10:30 a.m., at Mount Auburn UMC, Greenwood, IN. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests donations be made to advance the research of Parkinson's Disease or to the charity of your choice.

I met Lloyd when he came to Lilly in 1956. We worked together in buiding 28 and then we moved to building 77. I have many fond memories of Lloyd and enjoyed playing poker together for well over 30 years. May you rest in peace, Lloyd. Our condolences & sympathy to you and your family in your loss. Lloyd won't be forgotten!

I worked with Lloyd in Liquid Products Finishing on 22/1 at the time he went into the Army. I remember how impressive and proud he looked in in his uniform after finishing airborne training. Although we didn't work together in the later years, we would cross paths and Lloyd always had a smile and a cheery nod My sincere thanks to Lloyd for his military service and my deepest sympathy to his wife and family. It is comforting to have fond memories.

Lloyd will live on in the memories of his Lilly friends, and past co-workers. In his early years at Lilly he was one of the youngest among his co-workers so they called him the "kid". As the years past, Lloyd became the guru of department 752. He was a mentor to many, and if you ever had a question, and by some chance Lloyd didn't know the answer, he would help you find it. He definitely made the world a better place with his presences. I'm sure he is in heaven playing cards with old friends, and telling them the "kid" has arrived. Love and prayers to Lloyd's family.
