Terry David Lloyd, 91, passed away in Los Gatos, on July 10, 2026, in the company of his loving
family.
The only child of two teachers, Frances Radabaugh and Floyd Whitney Lloyd, Terry grew up with a love of learning that he would maintain throughout his life.
He attended the Montezuma Mountain School for Boys in Los Gatos, located in the Santa Cruz mountains, where he discovered his curiosity for radio transmission.
He built the school a radio station, and even drove around Los Gatos in a pickup truck to determine where the signal could be heard.
After high school, Terry enlisted in the Army during the Korean War, during which he was sent to Japan to work on radio communication because of his technical skills.
After deployment, Terry attended San Jose State University and was hired at KLOK radio, where he was an engineer and disk jockey.
KLOK shaped his professional and personal life: It was there in 1963 when he announced the death of President John F.
Kennedy over the air as he read it from a teletype, and where he met his wife of over 65 years, Bette Stone.
After KLOK, he began a decade long career at KSFO radio station in San Francisco as their Chief Engineer.
Just before he passed, Terry was interviewed by the Radio Historical Museum in Alameda along with other Bay Area Radio pioneers.
Terry and Bette’s marriage was filled with over 65 years of love, laughter and joy.
Together they raised two children, Jennifer and Kevin, in Almaden Valley.
Their summers were filled with car trips across the western and midwest states, sun-filled weeks with friends at San Juan Capistrano beach, and winters in Lake Tahoe.
In Terry's senior years, he was an extremely happy and proud grandfather to Samuel, Madeleine, and Kendall.
Terry had a loving and happy life, surrounded by his extensive radio collection, plethora of books about ancient Egypt, and his large and varied music selection.
His 91-year journey ended where it began in Los Gatos.
Terry's peaceful presence, steady nature, and endless appetite for ice cream will be missed.
We love you, Terry/Dad/Papa.
