Edward Lynn Lloyd
December 23, 1926 to October 6, 1991

             

My Dad taught high school math for 32 years at Franklin High School. He also loved the game of golf, and at one point was a 5 handicapper. Unlike most of us though he managed to always look at the positive side, no matter his score. He also served as the assistant golf coach for a number of years. After my Dad passed away, a friend of his, Bob Herring, a fellow teacher and the head golf coach at Franklin High School, wrote the following poem.

It Seems Like Only Yesterday ...

As a New Kid at Franklin
20 Years Ago When Ed and I Met

When His Pride in Statistics
Made My Job Easier As A Coach

When I Got So Mad Because
A Bad Shot Never Upset Him

When I Soon Discovered His
Integrity For The Sport He Loved

When He Told Me to Enjoy The Sky, The Birds, and
The Beauty Of The Day - Forget a Bad Round

He Taught Me So Much About The
True Purpose Of The Game --

Ed Will Be Sorely Missed, But
My Respect For His Values Will Remain
