LLOYD, Richard Douglas - 1924 - 2012 The son of Loftus L. and Bertha Lloyd (deceased) of Toronto. Doug is survived by his brother Donald L. Lloyd, Don's wife Joyce and their six children and families. Doug was a fine scholar, earning an MA in Classics and MusB at the University of Toronto. He taught at Sioux Lookout, Etobicoke Collegiate Institute, Royal York Collegiate Institute, Monarch Park Collegiate Institute and for many years at Lawrence Park Collegiate Institute. Summers from 1942 to 1966 were spent at the Taylor Statten Camps (Ahmek), many as canoeing instructor and director of outtrips. A fine pianist, he was an associate of the camp's music staff. He wrote and privately published "Ahmek 1922-1966" and collaborated in the writing of "Fires of Friendship" by Liz Lundell. For Ryerson's CJRT, Doug produced the music program "Collector's Choice", and for University of Toronto he served on the executive of the Faculty of Music Alumni Association and represented that body on the Senate from 1960 to 1972. Doug authored "A First Latin Book" and edited "A First Greek Book (White)". He also edited and published "The History of the Macdonald Manufacturing Company (Toronto)" written by his father. Retiring to Durham, Ontario in 1981, Doug researched and published a four-volume study of the Lloyd family history along with "The Lloyd Families of King and Whitchurch Townships". When Doug's sight started to fail in 2005, he took up residence at Christie Gardens, where he died on September 10, 2012. At his request there was no visitation or service. His ashes will be interred in the family plot in Aurora Cemetery at a later date. A Life Well Lived

Upon fondly remembering Latin class with Mr. Lloyd at LPCI, I came by chance across this notice of his passing. I will always be in his debt for awakening in me a love of language history.

Commemorating the passing of this generous gentleman, inspiring scholar, and talented teacher, whose legacy continues in the deeds and demeanour of those legions of "hoi polloi" stimulated by the wit and wisdom of his classical classes. With gratitude for an exemplary education in language, literature, classical anthropology and life in general -- and for laughs and lessons unforgotten to this day. Peace to family and friends.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Lloyd's death. He was a very fine Latin teacher, under whom I was privileged to study at Lawrence Park.

Mr Lloyd was my Latin teacher at Lawrence Park C. I. for grade 9 in 1980-1981. He was very kind and courtly; a true gentleman. I was saddened to hear of his passing, and offer my heartfelt condolences to his family.
