In 1939 with the start of WWII, Lloyd left the farm to join the Army and helped to liberate Europe as a member of the tank corp. After returning home safely in 1945 he moved to B.C.

to rejoin his family and there married Florence (nee Boyd) in 1946. After a period of adaptation to civilian life, he found his calling in Real Estate, first as a successful salesman in Vancouver and later as an agent, developer and owner of his own company. Wakefield Realty Ltd. Lloyd's warmth, humour and generosity made him many friends over the years, both in business and in his personal life. He was known for his compassion and provided financial assistance to friends and family members alike whenever a helping hand was needed.

His prevailing passion was horseracing. Lloyd loved the excitement of the racetrack and was the owner, along with Norm Browne of some beautiful, and occasionally very successful thoroughbreds. He was also an avid poker player, a skill he had honed since his army days. A great story teller and kidder Lloyd would regale one and all with stories of his, and others, exploits in business, gambling and, only occasionally, wartime. In later years, Lloyd was overjoyed watching his five grandchildren grow.
