He was raised by the only mother he ever knew, Beatrice Ellis Lloyd, who married Leonard when Jack was two. He graduated from Marshall High School and married Huline Mills Lloyd on March 24, 1944. During the war he and Huline lived in Washington State where Jack worked in the Puget Sound Shipyards. After the war they returned to Texas and lived in Woodlawn until his death. In 1955 he bought the Dairy Queen in Jefferson where he worked until his retirement in 1985. Jack loved his family and friends and they dearly loved him. He enjoyed traveling with Huline in their motorhome, especially when it involved going to watch their son and grandchildren play any type of sport.
