His daughter said he was known for coming home after work on a weekday, and telling everyone to hop in the car. He would drive them on long winding roads outside the city to an ice cream shop where the children’s eyes would widen at the size of the giant scoops. Mr. Lloyd graduated from Howard in 1948, and on Sept. 7, 1952, the two were married. The couple moved to Nashville, Tenn., where Mr. Lloyd started classes at Meharry Medical College.
One of his favorite sayings, his daughter said, was: “A measure of a man is how well he provides for his family.”
