From there he attended the University of Saskatchewan, graduating in 1949 with a BSc in electrical engineering. It was at UofS that he met Beth and last year they celebrated sixty wonderful years of marriage. His thirty-six years with Imperial Oil took the family to the three Prairie provinces, Dawson Creek, BC and Jakarta, Indonesia. Lloyd was a member of McDougall United Church for forty years and served on various committees. Other volunteer activities included twenty years as a reader for CNIB; a term as president of CSEG; a term as president of the Esso Resources Annuitant Club; and committee involvement with APPEGA which earned him a life membership.
