He and his sister lived with his grandmother for a time. His mother, Minnie, moved to Kenosha, Wisconsin with Lloyd and his sister and ran a boarding house. She married Andrew Bertsch while living there. He was from Bismarck originally and they returned here in 1920. In 1921, they moved to a farm north of Bismarck. Lloyd attended Arnold School.

He was a member of McCabe United Methodist Church. He enjoyed hunting and fishing. He and his wife did a lot of camping with friends. They belonged to a square dance club in Bismarck for many years. They went on a lot of bus trips and visited every state in the union. He was Arnold 4-H Club leader for several years, assessor for Burnt Creek, Riverview and Naughton Townships for many years, and served on the Burnt Creek School Board. He was a lifetime member of the Eagles Club. He and his wife moved into Bismarck in 1990 and have lived at the Waterford on West Century since September 7, 2002.
