- Hortonville, Age 79, God saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be; so He put his arms around him and whispered, "Come to Me". Lloyd was called home by His Savior on September 23, 2010. He was born on March 8, 1931 son of Frank and Nell (Sommers) Koeppl. Lloyd married Karen Krause on June 16, 1956 at S.S. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Hortonville and they celebrated 54 years together on June 16, 2010.
Lloyd served his country in the U.S. Air Force and was stationed in Germany, Italy and Africa. He was employed with Kimberly Clark for 39 years, retiring in 1990. He traveled to Utah, Texas, and Connecticut during his career to assist with paper machine start-ups. Lloyd was a substitute bus driver for the Hortonville School District for 47 years, retiring in 2005. He especially enjoyed driving the students to their sporting events and he received great pleasure watching his children and then his grandchildren participate in sports.
Lloyd was a faithful member of the S.S. Peter and Paul Parish Community. He served on the Parish Council and Finance Committee, was a lector and enjoyed singing in the choir for many years. During the years his five children attended S.S Peter and Paul Catholic School, Lloyd volunteered as the athletic director and basketball coach. Lloyd and Karen traveled throughout the United States during their retirement years and enjoyed spring fishing at the "shack" on the Wolf River with family and friends. Lloyd was an avid walker and liked to ride his bike around town, waving hello to those he met along the way.
