Lloyd, not one to shy away from a conversation, and I started bantering back-and-forth. Through our talks, I found out he was a Korean War Veteran. I told him I was teaching my St. Mary’s students about war and PTSD. I asked him if he would be willing to talk with my students about his experiences in Korea. Of course, he jumped at the chance. Being a great storyteller, he had the kids in the palm of his hand. I passed this info on to Bill and Yvonne Williams. They were working with NPM to create a video about a Korean War Honor Flight to Washington D.C.. NPM ended up contacting Lloyd and he was a prominent figure in the video. While in Omaha getting ready to leave for D.C., the students spotted Lloyd in the halls and ran up to him yelling , “Mr. Hinkley, Mr. Hinkley all wanting to give him a hug. He never forgot that. From that moment on, every time I saw Lloyd, he’d bring up that experience. you can find the video at Nebraska Public Media (NPM) “Homecoming: The Impact on Nebraska Veterans” (approx 30 min)

I’m so sorry he has passed. He was a wonderful human being, a real character around Lincoln we will all miss. My thoughts and prayer are with the family at this time.

Just a month ago I was talking with someone at the Legacy about all he had done for the Seniors Foundation. He was amazing.
