He graduated from Ketchikan High School in Ketchikan, Alaska in 1973. During Lloyd’s career, he worked for 37 years as a freight and logistics associate for trucking sales. He thrived on building strong relationships with his colleagues and many turned into life-long friends. Lloyd always enjoyed spending time with his loved ones, reading, golfing, and playing and watching baseball. He especially found joy in catching up with old friends. He enjoyed telling jokes, pondering life’s big questions, learning new things, caring for his pets, and spoiling his grandkids. He will be remembered most for his sense of humor, loyalty, and sensitive side along with being loving. Lloyd is survived by his son, Christopher James (Elayne) Pike of Phoenix, Arizona; daughter, Danielle (James) Pike McArdle of Bellingham, WA; brother, Jim (Camille) Hamlin and family of Bothell, WA; sister, Connie (Bill) Dolby; and two grandchildren, Seamus and Eliza McArdle.
