Obituary

The family of Lloyd Anderson has only recently shared this obituary from 2019 with Lab: Lloyd Anderson, '61, PhD'75 died on March 18, 2019, from complications of a stroke he suffered in October 2010. He was born in Ames, Iowa, on June 26, 1943, to Arnold Anderson and Mary Jean Bowman. His youth was spent in Lexington, Kentucky, and Chicago, Illinois. Lloyd received a Bachelor's in Mathematics from Oberlin College in 1965 and his Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of Chicago in 1975. Lloyd held positions at the University of Colorado at Boulder and at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill before moving to Washington, DC, in the 1980’s. He taught and did research at Gallaudet University for several years. Using his skills as a linguist he operated a small business called Ecological Linguistics that created and marketed computer software fonts for languages with small numbers of speakers and which were not served by major software developers. Lloyd was a founding member of the Pre-Columbian Society of Washington and actively supported the Pre-Columbian Society of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Lloyd was also involved in the American Rock Art Research Association and in the European Association of Mayanists. He traveled extensively and attended many conferences throughout the world, sometimes making presentations based upon his research. Lloyd is survived by his spouse, Larry Barnes; half-sisters Nancy Moore of Don Mills, ON, and Camille Breeze of Amesbury, MA; and his cousins.
