Blogging/Guest Blogging: Honoring You
Honoring Hospice, Honoring Papa
Lloyd was an avid golfer, Cessna pilot, and card shark. Beloved by family and friends, he was often the life of every party. But to me, he was just “Papa.”
He was the eldest of five brothers and sisters, living through the Great Depression and taking various jobs to help support the family. Lloyd was a member of the Civil Air Patrol and served in the US Navy during WWII. He volunteered on the Local Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’i’s of Brookfield, WI for many years and was a mentor for Junior Achievement. An industrial engineer, Lloyd worked for the Square D Company for 38 years and relocated to Raleigh, NC in 1972 to help open their Knightdale plant. Together, he and Margaret were also sales leaders in the Shaklee Corporation.
As the years went by, Lloyd slowed down. He suffered from Alzheimer’s complicated by congestive heart failure — a relentless combination that took him from us bit by bit.
