Lloyd was born on December 8, 1934 to Frank and Helen (Scegura) Fedor in Holdingford. He attended a country school before graduating from Holdingford High School. A few years later, Lloyd was drafted into the United States Army and stationed in Germany during Peacekeeping Time post WWII. On July 6, 1959, he married Ramona Luethmers in St. Wendel and together they raised five children. Lloyd’s passion was flying and it was his dream to become a pilot. He achieved this in his 40s and enjoyed being a private pilot, flying recreationally, and took an impressive trip with his nephew to Seattle, WA and Canada. Many people enjoyed the rides he gave in his Cessna 172. Lloyd and Ramona worked their dairy farm until 1998, but he kept farming into his 80s, finally retiring in 2015. Lloyd loved fishing, ice fishing/spearing, and water skiing. He also liked to drive around his Model A and Model T antique trucks. Lloyd was a generous and meticulous man of deep faith. He was a member of a Saturday morning men’s prayer group and was very involved with his community. Lloyd was a member of the American Legion and a 4th degree Knight.
