He began his work career in outdoor residential construction as a plumber/pipefitter before embarking on a long-time career at Eastman Kodak Company. He was a dependable hardworking man.
Lloyd, commonly known as 'Hig' enjoyed being outdoors, camping, canoeing, backpacking, fishing and regular trips to the family camp in the Adirondacks.
He took pride in his yard and gardens, adding his special touch of creativity. He enjoyed woodworking and had many 'fix it' projects to keep him busy. He could fix just about anything!
As a person, he was always willing to help others. Always quick with a joke to bring on smiles. A caring, thoughtful and loving father.
