Lloyd Day, 75, died on Wednesday, January 6, 2021 at a Bangor hospital after a brief non-Covid illness. He died peacefully and comfortably, with a smile, and with his wife, Peggy and is nephew Layton by his side.
Lloyd was the son of Guy and Faye (Currier) Day of New Sharon. He was born in New Sharon on December 24, 1945 and just celebrated his 75th birthday.

He then returned to school to earn his Bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Economics, of which he was very proud, at the University of Maine in Orono. Lloyd worked for many years at Bangor Pipe and Supply until his retirement. He then found his passion in woodworking and turned many a pen for family and friends. This hobby turned into a very small business for Lloyd and he sold pens and cutting boards at many craft fairs around the region. He had just become a member of the United Maine Craftsmen, another thing of which he was very proud.
