Emerson Richard Lloyd, 95, of Ocean Pines, Md passed away on January 7, 2021. He was born on Hooper's Island, Md on November 23, 1925 to the late Lafayette and Mary Lloyd. Emerson was raised on this small island in the Chesapeake Bay during the Depression. After Pearl Harbor, he joined the 1st Infantry Division and fought bravely in Germany at the age of 19. In the Ardennes counter offensive, better known as the Battle of the Bulge, he was wounded in the arm and sent back to the States. He is a recipient of the Purple Heart and two Bronze Stars. After the war, he joined the Maryland State Troopers which lead to the meeting of his wife, Julia Adele. They married in 1948, moved to the suburbs of Laurel and raised four children. Lloyd became a policeman of the city of Laurel and helped co-found the Laurel Rescue Squad. Over the years he became affectionately known as Mr. Lloyd to the neighbors, Uncle Rich to the cousins, and Pop-Pop to the grandkids, but will always be Dad to his children. He led a simple life, but a fulfilling one, and his legacy will be that of a great family man. Lloyd was preceded in death by his parents; and his wife, Julia Lloyd. He is survived by his sons, Emerson Lloyd, Jr. (Karen) and John Lloyd (Brenda); daughters, Mary Catherine Fontaine(Normand) and Ruthann Clark (Doug); 13 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; and his sister, Ann Bradway. Memorial service will be held at a later date.
