Lloyd Robert Baldwin

1915 - 2004

Director Emeritus, Euless Library Foundation

Lloyd Robert Baldwin, 88, went to be with our Lord on Tuesday, April 13, 2004.

Mr. Baldwin was born May 4, 1915, in Princeton, Mo.  He worked for A.C. Neilson Marketing Research for 41 years.  He was an emeritus member of the Euless Library Foundation.  In 1999, in an unprecedented honor, the Euless Library Foundation acknowledged his dedicated service with placement of his statue in front of the library.  He was a proud member of the COP (Citizens on Patrol), for Morrisdale Neighborhood Association.  Lloyd worked as a radio announcer and band vocalist in his early years.  His pure tenor voice sang with the Baron Dakin Band in the Corpus Christi area.  Lloyd loved life and will be remembered for his quick wit and love for his family and friends.

Here are some photos we thought we'd share with you of the statue dedicated to the library in 1999, and of Lloyd at other Euless Library Foundation activities.

Lloyd Baldwin was the model for this statue dedicated to the Euless Public Library in 1999.	Visitors the library frequently joined "Lloyd" on the bench.	Lloyd and his wife, Sybil, enjoyed the fellowship of Foundation members and the Advisory Board at the April 1, 2004, reception for the Board.	Lloyd was front-and-center for the presentation on the Foundation's current art project on April 1, 2004.	Meeting Euless citizens and talking about opportunities to help the library foundation was something that Lloyd enjoyed.
With the ever-present twinkle in his eye, Lloyd was a welcome guest at any event.	In September 2004, Lloyd was named Director Emeritus of the Euless Library Foundation and a lifetime member for his dedication and service.
