Transcript of Life story as told on January 3, 2023 at Lloyd’s Funeral:
Well, this is a true honor to be here to tell the story of my grandfather, Lloyd Alfred William.
But how do you summarize a life in a story. It is difficult, especially when telling the story of a man who lived ninety-six… AND A HALF! Years. That half was very important, and he was quick to remind anyone who mentioned it. I think the greatest tribute to a man who lived a long life such as his is to look around this room at the family and friends present here today as we pay our respects. I know if Grampa was here, he would personally thank each one of you for coming.
Lloyd was born on May 11th, 1926, in Swift Current Saskatchewan to parents Tom and Annie. Tom was from Colwyn Bay Wales and Annie was from Little Falls Minnesota. He grew up in Swift Current, the third of 5 children, older brother Ivor and sister Florence and younger sisters Violet and Jean. Lloyd attended School in Swift Current.
Apparently, Lloyd was a popular name for boys in 1926 as he was assigned the nickname “Gus” during his formative years so as to differentiate him from the other Lloyd’s in the small classroom. Youth was spent attending school, playing baseball and hockey.
As a member of the “greatest generation “ he responded to the call to join the First Canadian Army. He headed to Regina after turning 18 in 1944 and would train in Maple Creek and Calgary. He was saint to Wainwright Alberta where he was put in charge of overseeing POW’s. The camp was very noisy, the sounds of prisoners, constant clanging and banging of pipes. This was a milestone moment in Lloyd’s life as he looked after and helped feed the prisoners. One day while passing out cigarettes and toothpaste one of the prisoners gave him a ship in a bottle that he had made. Lloyd helped the prisoners with their gardens, growing flowers. He noted that the food was not good and many of the prisoners complained to him about this so together with several of the commissioned officers he organized an evening of a meal of fresh eggs and real milk. This speaks to the compassion of this man. Indeed, he said that the only times he felt scared were in the evenings when assigned to lone guard duty with his gun overseeing the entire camp.
Grampa would leave the army when a call was received from the pastor of his church back home. He was needed to help his widowed mother. He had a choice to make, to stay in the army which would have meant deployment, most likely oversees, or stay and look after his family. As with most things Lloyd chose family, something we should all be thankful for.
Lloyd would return home and start his career with the Canadian Pacific Railway which lasted for 21 years until 1965. During that time, he worked in the round house with steam engines, in the rail-car department, as a senior car-man, car inspector and finally car foreman.
Sometime in late 1949 Lloyd’s friend Al Rittinger convinced him to come along on a blind date to meet a young SaskTel phone operator named Wilhelmena Koch. From that day forward Lloyd and Minnie would be inseparable. They married on August 7th, 1950, in Moose Jaw. As if to prepare them for what was to come in their lives their marriage would get off to an interesting start as they made their way out to Banff for their honeymoon. When they arrived, they found that their room in Banff had been cancelled by the hotel because they had arrived too late. So, they would spend their first night together in their car, but as with all things in their life there is little doubt this brought them closer together.
Their union would bring 7 children… Debbie, Donny, Rodney, the twins Barry and Larry, Marty, and Jamey. I recall as a youngster being told many of the stories of the Williams kids and their adventures on the south side of Swift Current. Being chased by the police, car antennae in the leg, hammers being thrown. Just a typical Wednesday. It gave all of us grandkids a long leash because we knew that no matter how bad we were, we were never as bad as the Williams boys. Both Lloyd and Min had a lot of… patience (for lack of a better word) to have lived through the trials and tribulations of raising such a rowdy group.
In 1965 Lloyd started working with Mobile Oil where he would remain for 23 years in the Swift Current area as Senior Production Operator and Senior Production Foreman. He would retire in 1987. Retirement brought the snowbird years, hauling the fifth wheel to Arizona as well as trips to Hawaii, Mazatlán, Cancun as well as many trips around the eastern and western provinces. Lloyd and Min would also spend many summers camping at Lake Diefenbaker and Lac Pelletier where he got joy from taking the grandkids camping or for rips out on the lake in the silver Glastron boat. Lloyd also loved golfing, gardening, fishing, sports, and attending Bronco games. He bowled until the age of 90, and if there is one thing that was bit humbling as a competitive person myself it was getting my butt kicked by my grandfather at the bowling alley.
Lloyd was also very proud of his 60-year membership pin with the Swift Current Legion.
Family was very important to Lloyd. The testament to this is the 7 children, 14 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren and 1 great/great grandchild. If you are keeping score that is enough for about 3 hockey teams and a couple of spares with Min and Lloyd being the referees. Lloyd was very proud of the home he and Min built together to raise their family. The house would survive a fire and host countless birthdays, Christmas’, parties and other such gatherings of family and friends. Lloyd was keen to tell the store of getting the loan to build the house that would be the first on the block where he lived until just recently moving to Cypress House prior to his passing.
All of us have our memories of that house. For me there are two that stand out. The first was the summer of 1995 when gramma and grampa let me live with them while I worked for Sage Oilfield services for the summer. As a starving university student living rent free was a bonus. I was not prepared for the 10:30pm curfew at 19 years of age. I remember coming from an evening out with friends at one of the local Swift Current watering holes. Imagine my surprise being greeted by my grans mother and grandfather and being reminded that “In this house we have rules and one of those rules is to be home at 10:30pm”… I lived with Larry and Pam for the next 3 summers.
I also fondly recall the men’s hockey gold medal final on February 24, 2002 at the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics when Canada were 5-2 victors over the USA. Once again gramma and grampa allowed me to live with them for 2 months as I did my final University rotation in Swift Current. I was reminded, even at 24 years of age, that there was still a curfew.
One of the little-known facts about Lloyd was his keen sense of money and investments. Specifically, his ability to turn $5 into $20 with just the flick of a wrist.
There are countless other stories and memories that I could share, but again ask, how do you summarize a life lived so well? For me there are three words which I hold dear in my memories of grampa: honesty, Integrity, and Family. He adhered to these values for all his 96 and a half years. I cannot speak for others; however, I must admit that I aspire to live a life as committed as his because I know that if I am able to be half the man he was, then I will be twice the man that most others become.
On behalf of my family I thank you all for being here today.

Pam & Larry & all the families,
Sorry to hear of Lloyd's passing. I worked with Lloyd at Mobil Oil and yes he was a quiet and kind man. He also was mischievous with a little smile. Lloyd was always up for a good laugh. Especially when all the field guys came at the same time to pick up their mail at the main office. Rest in peace Lloyd. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you face the days ahead. Keep the memories close.

Even though Uncle Lloyd lived far away from where we currently live he will be missed by all of the Heuft family. I will always remember his great sense of humor, and his funny little grin when he was about to play a practical joke on someone. He loved to play golf and to bowl, both are things that I like to do also. I often think that I could have used a lesson or two from Uncle Lloyd. I loved all of my uncles but Uncle Lloyd was one of the favorites, I think it was because he was always ready to just have fun.
Now to share a few memories that I think identify Uncle Llyod – One of the fun uncles.
1. The “fart cushion”: At one Christmas get together at the Heuft’s home in Medicine Hat many years ago. Uncle Llyod and my dad purchased this prop (the fart cushion). They would secretly sneak around the living room couch and try to place the prop where some unsuspecting family member was to sit. I think they specifically were targeting my Aunt Mini. When they successfully pranked someone, they would laugh like school children. Uncle Llyod of course would display his silly grin.
2. Leg Wrestling : At another such get together, I think it was Uncle Lloyd and my dad again that arranged a leg wrestling contest. They pair men against men and occasionally one of the men against one of the woman. If this was the case they would secretly anchor the woman’s leg giving them a significant advantage. Of course, a significant amount of heckling was applied to the men that might lose.
3. Pool Hall Challenge – On another visit to Medicine Hat, Uncle Llyod, Uncle Bill, and my dad challenged each other to a few games of pool. Uncle Bill was skillful and was expected to win but Uncle Llyod came from behind and won the trio.
I could go on with many more fine memories. Needless to say, I loved Uncle Llyod. Uncle Llyod and Aunt Mini honored Lisa and I and traveled to California to our wedding. They were so welcoming to Lisa, making her just fit right in. Again in 2007 and in 2009, Lisa and I made trips back to Canada and the Williams family were there to welcome us home.
God Bless the Williams family. So sorry for your loss. Love you all.

Surprisingly enough, Lloyd was one of the first friends I ever had in the City of Swift Current. I met him and Minn at Wong's Kitchen when I first came here as a one-man-band back in my university days. They helped make road life tolerable with their friendship -- the dinner invitation was especially appreciated.
Lloyd was an excellent human being who I'm sure will be missed by everyone who knew him.. RIP Lloyd and thanks for some great memories.

Always remember our Dad as a hard working man, he did many things for us kids, remember our summer holidays as ones that went like this , girls one year, boys the next. Tenting or the small trailer would have been too much for all at the same time to go. He loved to fish, taught us boys the skills of hockey. He loved to do all his own carpentry and building, never hired out anything. That was his pride.
A great dad all around.
