He was born September 16,
1933 in Alluwe, Oklahoma to Glenn Eldon and Edith
Vivian (Bond) Jordan. Lloyd graduated from Lenapah
in 1952 where he was a star basketball player. A
treasured memory was riding the Interurban streetcar
to the Coffeyville movie theatre. On June 4, 1955
Lloyd married the love of his life Mary Evelyn Inman
in Nowata, Oklahoma. They are life-long residents of
Nowata County where they raised three children.
Lloyd worked hard all his life. At the age of 13 he
left home and worked odd jobs for room and board. He
operated farm and heavy equipment, moved a house,
created a small cattle ranch and oil production.
Lloyd, also known as ""Biggun"", retired from
Phillips Petroleum Company, with 35 years of service
in the Print Shop and then enjoyed 15 years
delivering propane for Richardson/Burns Propane
Company.
He made time to take care of his family. He took
them to church and was always there to solve
problems they had. He relished family activities and
community events that kept him in touch with local
folks. His kind and pleasant manner brought peace to
all. Lloyd was a devoted husband, dedicated father,
proud grandfather, dear brother, special in-law and
uncle, as well as a good friend. He will be missed
by all who crossed his path.
Lloyd was a true Nowata County history buff. He knew
many people and had a lot of friends. He liked steam
engines, classic cars and enjoyed an annual pheasant
hunting trip to Nebraska. He served Nowata as Mayor,
City Councilman, Nowata Historical Society Museum
volunteer, and was ""Turkey of the Year"" for Nowata
Pioneer Days. Lloyd was a contributing member and
Elder of Cornerstone Community Church in Nowata and
longtime member and Elder of Hillside Christian
Church.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial
contributions to the Nowata 10-33 Team or The
Journey Home in Bartlesville (Phillips matches any
donations.)
