Lloyd was born on February 20, 1934, at Dougherty Iowa, one of four children to Frederick and Hettie (Allen) Ginapp. In 1951 he graduated from the Sheffield High School and then assisted on the family farm.

On August 22, 1953, he was united in marriage to Irene Campbell at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Rockwell. He and his wife owned and operated Lloyd's Place Tavern in Rockwell where they started raising their four children. Lloyd also drove truck during this time for Mitchell Transport. Following the closing of that company, he operated the American Legion Club in Rockwell off and on for several years depending on his health.

Lloyd was a crack shot at hunting and spent many relaxing trips fishing up north with his family and friends. His sense of humor was evident to all and he really enjoyed playing cards with his buddies. When he was younger, he bowled and played softball. His volunteer service was most evident by serving on the Rockwell Fire Department for 44 years. Irene and Lloyd would often be found gliding around dance floors in the North Iowa area. In his later years spending time with his grandkids meant everything to him.

Those who shared in Lloyd's life include his wife of 48 years, Irene, of Rockwell; two daughters, Anna Starkweather, Waverly, Mary, and her husband, Rodney Askildson, Mason City; two sons, Tim Ginapp, Rockwell; and Tom and his wife, Lori Ginapp, Mason City; twelve wonderful grandchildren, Neely Starkweather-Sable, Amy, Michael, and Keisha Starkweather, Shane, Cymbria, Angela, and Adam Askeldson, Abbi, Tony, Missy and Katie Ginapp; one great- granddaughter, Mackenzie Starkweather-Sable; and one brother, Leslie and his wife, Joreen Ginapp, Edgerton, Wis.
