LLOYD EARL TAPLIN
Predeceased by parents, Alfred "Cerce" and Eva Taplin, brothers, Orv and Ray. Lloyd will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 62 years, Audrey, son Ken (Michelle), daughter Faye (Peter), grandchildren, Meagan (Jeremiah), Stefania (Brent), Natalina, Gerardo and Joe, great-granddaughter Elia, brothers, Don (Muriel), Fred (Elaine) and Ken (Sharon), sisters-in-law, Shirl and Elza, brother-in-law Edward (Marilynn) numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
Lloyd was born on the family farm just south of Argyle, Manitoba on September 3, 1932. He was the fifth of six boys. He attended Grassmere School until Grade 8, then Brant Argyle School, where he met the love of his life, Audrey. They were married at the Argyle United Church on August 10, 1957. They lived in Warren, MB where both their two children, Ken and Faye were born. The family then moved a few miles over to the farm in Argyle where they resided until they retired to Stonewall, and then later moved to Winnipeg.
Lloyd worked for the Lakeside Butter Company, Kane Equipment, then he took the position of Weed Supervisor for the municipalities of Rockwood and Rosser. After that he started driving school bus for the Interlake School Division, out of Stonewall until his retirement. Throughout, Lloyd also raised cattle on the farm, and did seasonal work for Unger Seed Farms for many years.
Lloyd had a love of horses and could always recall the names and personalities of any of the family horses. Lloyd enjoyed baseball his whole life starting from an early age, then in the local men's league, coaching the local girl's team to the provincials and as a spectator at the local tournaments. Lloyd enjoyed his curling during the winter months. As the years went on Lloyd retired to being an avid TV sports fan.
Lloyd was a member of the local Toastmasters, a member of the Stonewall Masons, the Portage Khartum Shriners, Eastern Star and Jobs Daughters. He enjoyed camping with family and friends at the Portage and later Sidney campsites. His travels included family trips to Branson, for country music, Prince Edward Island, and the Halifax trip to watch the Brier.
The most important thing in Lloyd's life, was family. Loving husband, Dad and Poppa, you will be forever in our hearts.
Celebration of his life will be held in his memory on Thursday, August 1, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at the Argyle Community Hall.
In lieu of flowers, if so desired, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

My condolences to Audrey and family. I spent many hours, over many years, riding in the grain truck and tractor with Lloyd...whether he wanted the company or not, he never kicked me out anyway. Fond memories of his stories, (I'm sure talking his ear off between those stories), bird dancing on the seat of the truck or listening to the Saturday night polka party, acquiring a love of Chiclets which he always had waiting in his shirt pocket, learning to make gum out of chewing grain, and running to deliver him the occasional barley sandwich to wash down all that grain dust on those hot days! - Posted by: Kelly Unger (Friend) on: Aug 01, 2019

I offer condolences to you, Audrey, and to all of your family, in the loss of a husband, life partner, father and grandfather. I am grateful that I got to know Lloyd as we three celebrated many happy milestone occasions with Edna and Ted. Edna has filled me in on your news over the years so I shared in many highlights of your life story. We even share the same wedding anniversary date!!! Do you remember? After reading the details of Lloyd's life in the obituary, I know that the family will have many wonderful stories to share together in the days, weeks and months ahead. Memories will bring you comfort in your grieving.

Lloyd was a good friend after they moved to Winnipeg. If we went to Portage West and stopped for lunch at the Burger King restaurant, we would meet up with Lloyd and Audrey and have a good visit. He was good company and will be missed. - Posted by: Ralph & Shirley Sinclair (Friend) on: Jul 30, 2019
