One of her most cherished possessions was a Valentine she received from Roy when she was in the third grade and Roy was in the sixth grade. Her senior year, Clara was selected as Midland High School Homecoming Queen. While attending high school, she worked for room and board at the Midland Parsonage. Clara graduated from Midland High School in 1937. After graduation, Clara worked at the cafe at the Noble Garage for a year. Clara then attended college at Spearfish Normal. The trip from Midland to Spearfish was Clara's first bus ride. The bus stopped for the evening in Rapid City.

Lloyd grew up on a farm southeast of Midland and completed his elementary education at rural Liberty School near Midland.

Lloyd was confirmed at St. Peter Lutheran Church in 1943. After graduating from Midland High School in 1947, he began farming and ranching with his father. In 1951 he enlisted into the U.S. Air Corps and served for four years during the Korean War. After his discharge in 1955, he returned to farm and ranch with his father. In 1957 Lloyd invested in a cable stack mover from Joy Implement in Midland and began a custom haystack moving business until the 1970's, during which time he moved 13,000 stacks, some as far as Sonnenschein Ranch northwest of Ft. Pierre. Lloyd often recalled his customers' hospitality and the friendships he made through this line of work.

He was also a member of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod's South Dakota district board for nine years and a lifetime member of St. Peter Lutheran Church, serving as an elder until his death.
Besides his zest for raising wheat and cattle, Lloyd was an avid sports enthusiast, both as a player and fan, and could recollect many exciting games. In his retirement Lloyd enjoyed restoring old buildings, tractors, and wagons; planting and nurturing shelter belts (the cedar being his favorite tree); and bass fishing with family and friends. Lloyd cherished his family and was delighted that grandson Patrick enjoyed machinery as much as Grandpa did. Lloyd's family remembers him as a husband and dad who was always there for them as a mentor and spiritual guide who professed his love for the Lord. Teaching Sunday morning Bible class also filled Lloyd with energy and contentment. Lloyd's greatest mission wish was for all to know and believe this great promise: "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."
Grateful for having shared his life are his wife Karel of rural Midland; two daughters Anne Marie and husband Maynard of rural Dimock, SD; Katherine and her husband Darron of St. Louis Park, MN; two sons, Steven and his wife Jennifer of Pierre, SD; and Mark of Kadoka, SD; one grandchild Patrick; one brother Leonard and his wife Anice of Altoona, WI; brother-in-law Robert List and his wife Elaine of Yankton, SD; and a host of other friends and relatives.
