Lloyd G. Luecke passed away Wednesday afternoon, July 22, 2020 at his home in Sheboygan Falls surrounded by his family. He was 90 years old.
Lloyd was born July 17, 1930 in the town of Herman, son of Walter and Lydia (nee Woepse) Luecke. He attended Trinity Grade School in Howards Grove and graduated from Kiel High School in 1948. On February 9, 1957, he was united in marriage with Judith Kober at Trinity Lutheran Church in Howards Grove.
From 1958-1973, he ran Howards Grove Improvement Company with his brother-in-law. In 1973, he started his own home improvement and roofing business, Luecke Siding and Roofing. God blessed him with a flourishing local business which his son Doug took over after Lloyd’s retirement in 1992.
A strong believer in Jesus as his Savior, Lloyd was a devout member of Trinity Lutheran Church, where he belonged to the Men’s Club. He was a past member of Howards Grove Rod and Gun Club, Lakeshore Driftbusters, the Cooked Cheese Card Club and the “DNR” group. “Poor Lloyd” loved fishing, hunting, a good dessert, celebrating Lloyd Fest, and time spent with friends, both old and new. Above all, he cherished time with his family. Lloyd, “a good guy”, always did things his way and leaves behind a legacy of hard work, honesty and humor. His many stories will live on.
Lloyd is survived by his wife of 63 years, Judy and their children: Brad Luecke (Lynn Hutterer) of Howards Grove, Doug (Kristi) Luecke of Sheboygan, Brett (Lisa) Luecke of Brookfield, Jeff (Heather) Luecke of Waukesha and Anne (Jim) McCraw of Howards Grove. He is further survived by 13 grandchildren: Jamie, Cassie, Katie, Cory, Marc, Mitch, Jesse, Cole, Natalie, Claire, Nelson, Teddy and Drew; 11 great-grandchildren: Braden, Grace, Emmy, Lloyd, Luisa, Eden, Dougie, Miles, Evelyn, Parker and Ava; sister Marian Gerke of Sheboygan; nieces, nephews, other relatives and many dear friends.
