Dale Burton Lloyd
Dale B. Lloyd was born May 31, 1929 in Beatrice, NE to Jess and Grace (Jurgens) Lloyd. Dale passed away on May 22, 2020. Dale was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran having served as a sergeant in the Korean War. He held to his Marine Motto, Semper Fideles – “Always Faithful” – to God, family, Country and friends. He was a man of highest character, loyal and respected by many family and friends.
Dale was employed by Goodyear for 30 years and had his retirement from there. He loved fishing, hunting, golf, travel (saw all 50 states, most of western Europe and Canada), and going to Husker football games – both home and away. He enjoyed reading, playing cards with friends, and weekly breakfasts with friends from Goodyear.
Dale has been active in membership at Faith Lutheran church, Lincoln East Rotary Club and the American Legion.
Dale jointed Lincoln Northeast Rotary Club in 1985 and was sponsored by Robert Rudell and Fred Lesston, which is now known as Lincoln East Rotary Club. He exemplified the Rotarian motto "service above self" for the past 35 years. Dale was Sargent of Arms for several years, and Chairman of the Firefighter of the Year and Police Officer of the Year recognition programs. Dale would certainly qualify for perfect attendance. He was always one of the first to volunteer for club projects such as Lincoln Parks and Recreation painting playground equipment, picnic tables or benches and was always willing to cook hotdogs for the SumFun Picnic. Dale was a true "Rotarian."
Dale is preceded in death by his parents and his only sister, Norma Towle Pederson and her husband Chuck. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Marilyn (Rosenkoetter) Lloyd; sons (and their wives) Bruce and Christie Lloyd and Russ and Cindy Lloyd – all of Lincoln; five grandchildren (two with spouses) Adam (Sara Rabstejnek) Lloyd in Blue Springs, MO, Scott Lloyd in Omaha, NE, Eric (Esther) Lloyd along with two great-granddaughters Izabella and Valencia in Lincoln, Jessica Lloyd in Chicago, IL., and Stefani Lloyd in Lincoln.
Funeral services were held on Friday May 29, 2020 at Faith Lutheran Church, at 1:00 pm. A private family interment was held prior to services at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery.
