He had a passion for motorsport racing, stock cars, go carts, and dirt track cars in the '60's to '90's. On Sunday's you would have found him parked in front of the T.V. watching NASCAR; He is on his victory lap. Lloyd also had a passion for animals after his farm life, having dogs, horses, and goats over the years. He enjoyed going to his men's church meetings (what he would tell his grandkids).
