Together, Lloyd and Susan had two children, both of whom survive him: Renee (Bob) Moore of Carleton, MI, and Steven (Noel) Bastuba of Murrieta, CA. Lloyd was an extremely hard-working man with a quiet disposition and a quick sense of humor. He was a loving, devoted father and grandfather, whose love for his family was evident in all he did.
