Two children were born to the marriage; Phyllis, while in Junction City, and Leland in Steamboat Springs. Lloyd enjoyed the out-of-doors, especially the hunting and fishing offered in Routt County. Deep sea fishing took him a number of times to Coos Bay, Oregon. Public evident of his deep faith was seen in the two terms he served as trustee of the Euzoa Bible Church.
