Lloyd was born May 3, 1929, in Mason City, the son of Merle L. and Lydia (Hope) Kennedy. He graduated from the Clear Lake High School in 1947. Following high school, he went to work for the Severson Excavating.

Lloyd married Sally Sarber on Jan. 17, 1954, at the Congregational Church, Belmond. He enlisted in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and was honorably discharged in April 1957. He returned to continue his work with Severson Excavating and later Beck Excavating, Clear Lake. He went to work for the city of Clear Lake Water Dept. as the plant supervisor and was promoted to public works director until his retirement.

Lloyd loved teasing his nieces and nephews, wood carving figures and fishing. He was a great history buff. He would never miss his “coffee socials” in the AM & PM. He enjoyed his antique cars and drove the Clear Lake mayor in the 4th of July Parade in his yellow 1953 Cadillac Convertible for many years. Lloyd was a member of Zion Lutheran Church in Clear Lake and the Clear Lake V.F.W.

Lloyd is survived by his wife Sally Kennedy, Clear Lake; his sister Lucille Anderson, Jim Falls, Wis.; and many nieces and nephews.

Lloyd was preceded by his parents, three infant sons, Randy Jay, Jeffrey Rae, and Gary Lee; one brother Leonard “Dude” Kennedy; three sisters Loretta Neal, Luella Marshall and Lorene Haddy.
