He worked the same land until he retired into Balmoral in 1984. Lloyd was the Reeve of the Rockwood Municipality for 22 years.

Many old tractors were brought back to life in his work shop. When he retired he made something special for his grandchildren, from doll houses to oil rigs to shuffleboard tables.

The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of the Teulon Hunter Memorial Hospital for the compassionate care they always showed to Dad. He always felt he was among friends when he was in your care. MacKenzie Funeral Home, Stonewall in care of arrangements.
