Lloyd George Forester Jr., DDS was a funny, charismatic man who made friends everywhere he went. Lloyd was born in Edwardsville, Kansas and cherished his small-town roots. Lloyd got his undergraduate degree from K-State University and his graduate degree at UMKC School of Dentistry. Throughout his years as a Dentist, he owned a successful practice in Edwardsville, Kansas and then worked in Dupo, Illinois.
Lloyd was a veteran of the Army, as a reservist in the 101st Airborne Division (The Screaming Eagles). He loved fast cars, racing go karts and riding motorcycles. He was a member of the Iron Butt Association and once completed the SaddleSore 1000, riding 1000 miles within 24 hours. During one of his rides, he conquered the Tail of the Dragon, completing 11 treacherous miles with 360 curves. Lloyd was an avid coin collector, road trip enthusiast, movie buff, a hunter and skilled sharpshooter, and a connoisseur of carrot cake.
In addition to having the most “impressive sneaker collection West of the Mississippi”, he thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. Lloyd was most proud of being a husband to Sandi and always tried to match her energy. Lloyd’s adventurous life should be celebrated. He will truly be missed by his family and friends.
