John Purdy “Jack” Lloyd, age 84, of Dunkirk, MD, passed away February 2, 2012 at Anne Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis, MD. Jack was born August 24, 1927 in Washington, D.C. to Ellen Rebecca (Purdy) and John Thomas Lloyd, and raised in Mitchellville, MD. He attended Mitchellville Elementary and Upper Marlboro High School. He served in the U.S. Army from November 1945 to November 1946 earning the WWII Victory Ribbon and Meritorious Unit Award. He married Genevieve Norfolk on June 19, 1948 and they lived in Melwood, MD and District Heights, MD, and settled in Dunkirk in 1976. Jack was employed at the U.S. Census Bureau in Suitland, MD, and retired in April 1981 as a printing specialist. He returned to work part-time at the Census Bureau after a four year hiatus, and retired permanently in 1995 with nearly fifty years of service.
Jack was an active member of Mt. Harmony United Methodist Church in Owings where he served as head usher for many years and was also a member of the church cemetery committee. He was a former member of the Suitland Moose, and because of his love of baseball organized Southern Maryland sandlot baseball teams. He enjoyed duckpin bowling and had bowled for many years in the Census Bureau Bowling League.
Jack is survived by wife Genevieve (Norfolk) Lloyd, a daughter Janice M. Lloyd, a granddaughter Deanna R. Brooke, and great-grandsons Bradley Lloyd and Patrick and Kyle Brooke, all of Dunkirk.
Friends and family will be received on Sunday from 2-4 and 6-8 PM at Rausch Funeral Home, P.A., 8325 Mt. Harmony Lane, Owings, MD.
