In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
DYCK, Jacob Lloyd - Passed away on Thursday, December 18, 2025 at the age of 81 years in Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville, N.S.
He was born in Altona, Manitoba on September 27, 1944. He is survived by his wife, Barbara; sons, Nathan (Nicola Holdsworth) and Joel; grandchildren, Samson, Fiona, James, Baker, and Mary. He was very proud of his family and their accomplishments.
Lloyd retired from the Royal Canadian Navy in the Canadian Submarine Squadron as Lieutenant Commander after a career that spanned 33 years. During his time in the Navy, he served on surface ships, and for a large part of his naval career, he was a submariner. Lloyd did an exchange with submarines in England in 1982.
He had many stories to tell from his time in Britain, from going to the 24 hour car race in Le Mans to dealing with British council bylaws when Lloyd thought a tree needed pruning. He learned, after the fact, you get approval first, then prune.
Lloyd earned his Mechanical Engineering degree at TUNS in 1976.
After his retirement from the Navy, he decided he wanted to grow tomatoes. Consequently, he and Barb bought a tree fruit farm in Waterville, N.S. Lloyd enjoyed working in the orchard, learning and developing techniques to grow quality apples, pears, and cherries. Lloyd was a grower member of Scotian Gold. He had found his passion, not in growing tomatoes, but in his orchard, Apples and Spice.
His honest and forth right approach to life and genuine caring for others will be missed. In keeping with Lloyd's wishes, there is no service at this time. A Celebration of Lloyd's Life will be held at a later date. Donations may be made to a charity of choice. (Middleton Funeral Home)
