Retired Master Sergeant Lloyd Gritton served twenty rewarding years in the Air Force. He traveled the world and held two assignments in Germany and Italy. Other places that were lucky to have his incredible work ethic were the U.S. Post Office, the USDA and even the school district where he drove a school bus. He found happiness working in his vegetable garden, cooking, hunting, visiting his grandchildren and traveling with his wife. He greatly enjoyed family gatherings where he would cook and share his fun sense of humor with his grandchildren. He loved God and he was baptized in 1996.

Lloyd/Dad/Grandpa/Brother will always be remembered for his determination to provide, for his giving personality, always imparting guidance and support, and for the way he could make us laugh with his humor and stories.
