During his life, he enjoyed traveling, classic science fiction, penny slots, learning new things and his family, especially his grandchildren.

Lloyd learned from his parents that you can be anything you want and have anything you want if you are willing to work hard enough and sacrifice the fear for it.

He took comfort in reviewing his blessings to get through the difficult times in life.

He tried to be fair and honest and not betray people - he regrets any time he was unfair or mean.

He was grateful for his life, and believes that things work out for the best

He believed that the biggest mistake in life to avoid is not learning from your mistakes.
