In 1975, Lloyd and his wife moved to Atlanta, Georgia where he was gainfully employed by Prestolite Battery Company of East Point, Georgia. Prestolite, after many years, closed their doors. During this period, Lloyd was much like a father to his siblings, all of whom matriculated his home toward their successful career pursuits. Thereafter, Lloyd became an employee of the city of East Point, Georgia, working as a waterworks foreman. After twenty-plus years, Lloyd retired. He relocated to Evans, Georgia. With a desire to serve his family and community, Lloyd became a farmer selling produce at the Richmond County Fairground on Laney Walker Boulevard, Augusta, Ga and Belair Road in Evans, Ga.
