Lloyd Henry Wieck was born June 21, 1923, on the family farm north of Hinton, in Plymouth Township to Henry and Jessie (Blackmore) Wieck. He attended country school near his home. Lloyd was united in marriage to Geraldine "Gerri" Trometer on April 2, 1943 at St. John's Lutheran Church in Le Mars.
Lloyd and Gerri farmed and raised cattle and hogs on the family farm until 1975 when they moved to Hinton. Lloyd had also worked at Swift & Co. in Sioux City from the late 1940s until retirement in 1975.
Lloyd enjoyed fishing with family and friends. He had served on church boards and volunteered wherever he could through the years. He had been a faithful blood donor for over 28 years.
As a young man, Lloyd was well known for his pitching skills for the Merrill Ramblers fast pitch softball team. Many simply called him "Hook" who played ball with him.
