He worked briefly at Snyder's Market in Toledo before enlisting in the Navy for World War II. They lined up all the recruits and asked those who had not been to boot camp to step forward. He stepped forward, and when they asked him why he had not been to boot camp, he said they knew a good man when they saw one. He was immediately placed on the USS California. Elsie Southwell became good friends with Lloyd's sister, Millie, while he was in the Navy. One Halloween, Elsie and a friend dressed up and went out to the Carvers to surprise Millie. Lloyd, who was home on leave, opened the door. The surprised girls took off running, and he chased Elsie until he caught her and kissed her. He proposed after a couple dates, but she gave no answer as he was not a Christian at the time. In 1946, he was discharged from the Navy, and made a commitment to the Lord. He and Elsie were married Dec. 5, 1947 in the Methodist Church in Toledo, and were married for 62 years at the time of his death. He worked for C.D.
