	''By Martin's daughter Rebecca''		''By Martin's daughter Rebecca - based on the eulogy she gave at his funeral''

			Martin Robert Lloyd was born on 8 December 1940 in [[Wikipedia:Saffron Walden\|Saffron Walden]]. He was the second son of Harold Raymond and Lilian Vera Lloyd; with an elder brother John, younger sister Mary, and later a half-sister, Karen. The early years for the Lloyd family were characterised by some instability as this was wartime. It included Dad being evacuated into foster care.

			When the war ended the family was reunited and lived in a few different addresses in the Essex area. After the sisters Mary and Karen came along, John and Dad were often entrusted with babysitting, and John distinctly remembers that at least once baby Mary rolled off a table when they were supposed to be looking after her. I also remember Dad talking about taking at least one of them to the park in a pushchair and using her as a goalpost for football.

			Dad passed his 11-plus and went to grammar school, from where he won a scholarship to [[Wikipedia:Pembroke College, Cambridge\|Pembroke College, Cambridge]]. He was asked to defer a year before starting, and he was always convinced that this was because when he was up for interview he was given a piece of cake and picked it up and ate it with his hands instead of a cake fork, so was considered not quite right for Cambridge!

			Dad seems to have had a lot of fun at Cambridge. John remembers going to visit and being out and about with Dad on several occasions well past the supposed curfew time at college, and having to give him a bunk up over the wall to escape the attention of the porters.

			After university Dad had intended to go to Africa as a missionary, but at that moment his parents' marriage, which had been difficult for many years, finally ended in divorce. Dad gave up his dream in order to set up house for his mother and his sister Mary, and supported them both financially and emotionally for several years afterwards. Mary says she will always be grateful to him for the care he gave them at this time. Karen remembers him taking her to ballet classes every week without fail.

			The family was living in [[Wikipedia:Romford\|Romford]]; there Dad began his long teaching career and also met my mother Jenny. They seem to have realised they were right for each other very quickly and became engaged within a few weeks of meeting. They had been married 53 years when he died.

			Dad and Mum moved to Boston, Lincolnshire to set up home, and my sisters and I were born. We have been looking through old family photographs lately, and among the terrible 1980s outfits and haircuts of our childhood we see some constant themes. Dad always loved being outside, and especially hill walking, and our holiday snaps tend to show us, as Hannah said, "looking knackered in front of a dry-stone wall". We all remember those holidays fondly, and they sparked an interest in being outdoors, in lovely countryside and beautiful views, in all of us.

			Dad and Mum were always heavily involved in local churches, especially in youth work and evangelism, and in 1985 Dad was ordained in the Baptist Church. For the rest of his career he somehow managed to hold down a full-time teaching job as well as running a church.

			In 1989 we moved across the country, first to [[Wikipedia:Chester\|Chester]], teaching science at a school on the [[Wikipedia:Wirral Peninsula\|Wirral]] (1989-90) for a year and then to [[Wikipedia:Llandudno\|Llandudno]]. Dad taught science and Religious Education at Ysgol [[Wikipedia:Emrys ap Iwan\|Emrys ap Iwan]], [[Wikipedia:Abergele\|Abergele]] (1990-1997), and also became minister of Llandudno Baptist Church. After a few years Dad's health had already begun to fail and he took early retirement both from teaching and from formal ministry in 1997. This did not, however, mean the end of his involvement with the church, and he remained active in preaching, teaching, and worldwide evangelism, especially through his own organisation EasyBibles, almost to the end. This organisation focused on making translations and paraphrases of the Bible for people with low levels of literacy and he travelled across the world in this role.

			After his three daughters, Rebecca (b1978), Hannah (b1980) and Esther (b1985) had left home, he and his wife Jenny moved to live in a bungalow in [[Wikipedia:Llanfairfechan\|Llanfairfechan]] on the North Wales coast, where they enjoyed the sea views and opportunity for countryside walks.

			Dad was an energetic, larger than life, character with a huge heart and concern for others. He particularly cared about those who often get forgotten or left behind such as prisoners or the learning disabled. He made friends wherever he went, and he could strike up a conversation with anyone, and usually did, sometimes to his family's discomfort. For the last decade or two of his life the onset of dementia sadly meant that his social awareness declined and he could be more difficult to live with and could be impulsive and say hurtful things. However, his desire to nurture, care for and above all to connect with others remained undimmed to the very end; even in his last hospitalisation he was waving to and making friends with the cleaners and nurses and despite losing nearly all his speech he could still say, "love you darling" to us and tell us to look after our mother, whom he loved so much.

			Esther says, "As a father he was always generous with his time and love. When we were little if we were ill he'd make us scrambled eggs on toast and pull faces to cheer us up. He taught me to play chess, make fried potatoes and a whole list of unhealthy yummy foods. He taught me maths GCSE when I didn't understand the teacher, he comforted me when my pets died and would conduct little burial ceremonies with me. He tried to teach me to drive but this was beyond both our patience! He would help you in any way he could. He could be argumentative if you disagreed but didn't hold a grudge, he just always wanted more time and more conversations with us all... Once when he was driving me back to university we got pulled over by the police. As we had a car stuffed with my Uni possessions and they thought we were burglars. Dad found this hilarious and offered to sell them our rusted battered old car... He never cared about appearances, possessions or standing on ceremony. His clothes were always scruffy, his cars even more so."

			"He was a lovely Grandad too, he cried with joy when Theo was born and loved playing with my sons. The last time I ever saw him laugh was when I took the boys to visit him in hospital and 2 year old Digory stepped on his toes. Theo remembers him as fun, someone he had tickle fights with and who loved to sing songs with him."

			Lily, Hannah's daughter said on behalf of herself and her brother Dominic: "Our Granddad was a marvellous person who could make me laugh under any circumstances. He would always give me and my brother random gifts. He was a kind and generous man. He would call me and my brother 'mush'. He would tell us jokes that didn't always make sense but we found them funny all the same. We love him lots. And we will miss him". Yes, Dad, we will miss you, indeed.
