June 26, 1926 ~ July 19, 2020

A beloved father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather, and dearest friend, Lloyd Hugh Redd, passed away at age 94 on Sunday, July 19 in Salt Lake City.

Lloyd was born the sixth of seven children to Lemuel Burton Redd and Cynthia Irene Hatch in Blanding on June 6, 1926.

A veteran of World War II, Lloyd was an infantryman in Luzon, Philippines, and part of the Allied occupation of Japan.

Throughout his life Lloyd was a mentor at home, at church, and in the workplace. He was a successful businessman, retiring as the president of Tandy Leather Company in 1976.

Lloyd had a sharp mind and quick wit. He traveled the world and made friends wherever he went.
