Lloyd L. Bolton

Lloyd L. Bolton, 88, died Thursday, the 20th of November 2014. A native Houstonian, he graduated from San Jacinto High School in 1943. He attended The Rice Institute until 1944 when he joined the V-5 Naval Flight School Program. He left the program when the war ended and finished his term of service in the Navy aboard the aircraft carrier “Sicily” as the Captain’s Talker. He returned to Rice and graduated in 1949.

While at Rice he met Georgiana (Ann) Putney who became his wife. They were married sixty six years.

Lloyd spent his working years in banking. He worked at Texas Commerce Bank, now Chase Bank, for thirty years. He felt very privileged to have been employed there and to have been associated with the many outstanding men and women with whom he worked. Lloyd always remained profoundly grateful to the late Mr. Charles Sapp and all the other fine attorneys at the firm of Locke Lord L.L.P.

Lloyd is survived by his wife Ann, son Robert Graves Bolton and his wife Isabel Bolton, son Lloyd Colby Bolton, daughter Georgiana Ladd and her husband Robert Ladd, granddaughters Mary Patton and her husband Ben Patton, Laura Ladd and Lisa Bolton, grandson First Lt.
