Lloyd had an inquisitive mind and always had a new invention around the corner. He patented the Bicycle Hotseat and a motorcycle tow bar. He rebuilt numerous hotrods and classic cars from the ground up. He could build and fix just about anything. He was self taught and had a thirst for knowledge. His true passion was our freedoms.
