Jim was 83 years young when he passed away suddenly. He was born November 23, 1930 in Poland, Ohio and was the only child of Else Anderson and William (Bill) Lloyd.

In 1955 he married Myrna Faye Pugh, and had three sons; Robert, Gary, and Gregg. Jim had an outstanding career as an Air Force pilot, teacher, and considered himself a “philosopher.”
