Our Father, Grandpa, and Great-grandpa “Lloyd”, was born on October 30, 1927 to Vern Buckley and Mary Covert Buckley in Idaho Falls, Idaho. He lived most of his life in Ogden, Utah. Lloyd was a wonderful person with a great sense of humor. He never met a stranger. He loved camping and fishing and his favorite hobby was collecting and “playing” with trains and listening to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. He loved spending time with his family. They were his greatest accomplishments. He is now dancing in heaven with his eternal companion Norma. Lloyd served in the Navy during World War II. Upon coming home, he met the love of his life, Norma Konkle. They married on February 11, 1950 in Ogden, Utah.
