At the age of 17 Lloyd enlisted and received his GED through the Navy.
On May 23, 1953 Lloyd and Nancy married at St. Mary & St. Joseph
Catholic church. Lloyd was stationed on the East Coast for 13 years
where their family grew to include five children. They moved back to
their hometown of Iron Mountain and purchased and operated The Iron
Mountain Machine Shop and started Tazer Manufacturing. Nancy enrolled in
community college to learn bookkeeping for the businesses, which they
operated together for almost 50 years.
They both loved traveling
and had the opportunity to travel to Europe, Asia, Hawaii, and
throughout the United States. Nancy was an excellent seamstress and
shared her talents as a 4-H leader. She loved to knit and bake,
especially with the apples from her orchard. She also loved reading,
playing games, bird watching and gardening.
Lloyd was a skilled
precision metal machinist and master craftsman. One of the last projects
Lloyd was instrumental in completing was the WWII Waco CG-4 glider, that
was mass produced at the Kingsford Ford Motor Plant, currently on
display in Iron Mountain, MI. In addition to the passion he had for
metal work and operating his businesses, he was an avid outdoor
enthusiast. He was a superb woodsman, hunter and fisherman. He spent
many years fishing the great lakes on his boats. He was an excellent
marksman and shared his outdoor passions with his family, teaching them
the skills of hunting. He enjoyed many other hobbies throughout his life
such as wood carving, model building and RC planes to name but a few.
Lloyd served on the American Welding Society and was instrumental in
teaching welding to his grandsons Alex & Anthony, as well as many other
young men & women.
