Bio

Lloyd Robert Greenhalgh, went to be with his Lord on Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at the Heritage Care Center, Red Cloud, Nebraska. Lloyd was born January 4, 1918 to Robert E. and Coral (Hubbard) Greenhalgh of rural Guide Rock, Nebraska. Lloyd and his nine siblings grew up on the family farm helping their mother with the chores after they lost their father in 1923. Lloyd graduated from Eckley (CO.) High School in 1937, and was employed in the silver mines in Leadville, Colorado after graduation. He was married to Bonnie Reichstein on March 15, 1939 in Leadville, Colorado. They later moved back to Webster county where they farmed north of Guide Rock, Nebraska. Lloyd farmed east of Guide Rock, Nebraska on the Hunter farm. Later he moved to town and was employed at Ely Elevator for a few years before he missed farming and moved back to the family farm in 1963. They Greenhalgh farm was acquired by his parents in 1917, and has remained with a family member since that time. Lloyd loved the farm life and continued farming until he retired and bought a home in Blue Hill, Nebraska in 1984. Lloyd was very active in the Blue Hill (NE.) Methodist Church, holding several volunteer positions during his years in Blue Hill, Nebraska. He was a devout Christian and always had time for family, church and the community. One of his favorite activities after retirement was going back to the farm and watch the crops being planted and harvested. He loved to ride on the combine with his son and grandson. The old saying "You can take the man off the farm, but you can't take the farm out of the man." This was very true of Lloyd as he always wanted to see how the farming was being done. Lloyd was a member of the Masonic Lodge, Lions Club, Eastern Star, served on the board of the Guide Rock State Bank, was a volunteer fireman, a member of the school board and numerous other volunteer positions. He was also an avid Nebraska Cornhusker fan and attended the games until his health prevented him from going. Lloyd loved working in his shop doing woodworking. His children and grandchildren are all recipients of wall shelves, small tables, doll beads and table and chairs which were all made with loved from their father and grandfather. Due to declining health, he and Bonnie moved to College View, Hastings, Nebraska in March 2010, and later moved to Heritage, Red Cloud, Nebraska in September of 2012.
