The Reverend John Janney Lloyd passed away on December 18, 2019 at the Bristal in White Plains at the age of 98. Father Lloyd was born on April 10, 1920 in Wakayama, Japan. He was the third of seven children born to Episcopal missionaries, Reverend James Hubard Lloyd and Louisa Barton Myers Lloyd.
Father Lloyd graduated from the University of Virginia with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and would later attend and graduate from Virginia Seminary and Harvard Divinity School. Upon hearing about Pearl Harbor, he left the seminary and enlisted as a language officer in the Marine Corps. Father Lloyd was in the fourth wave of men to arrive at Iwo Jima.
