Arthur “Lloyd” Cline, 89, of Big Beaver Borough went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Tuesday, May 7, 2024. He passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones.
Arthur Cline, known to many as Lloyd, was a man of integrity, a man of good values, a man who was loved by many. He leaves behind a beautiful footprint on this Earth for us all to be reminded of what a good man is and what living the good life is all about. A life to be proud of.  He lived well and enjoyed it.
Lloyd retired from Babcock & Wilcox Tubular products laboratory. He was a member of Homewood Methodist Church and the Big Beaver Sportsman Club. For most of his years he could be found under the hood of a car or riding on a tractor. He loved to be outside. He was a man who knew what hard work was and the thought of quitting or giving up, just wasn’t an option. Up to his last days he was making to-do lists and telling of his next project. Although they may not have been completed, there was no talk of ever throwing in the towel. He made sure to enjoy life, taking many trips to the family camp, traveling to Florida for the winter months, or spending quality time with family. There’s no doubt his stories or trips down memory lane will be missed by many. There was no greater time than sitting on the porch or around the kitchen table where he’d share with us some of life’s greatest moments.
Lloyd was a loving husband to his wife of 70 years, Polly A. (Siever) Cline, Big Beaver Borough. A father who provided for and took pride in his four children, Arthur (Nancy) Cline, Lisbon, OH, Cindy Bowser, New Brighton, the late Roger Cline (2015) and Shannon Cline (1999). He was the grandfather to 9 and great-grandfather to 17, that he spoke dearly of and whom he loved immensely.
In addition to his two sons, he was preceded in death by five brothers, Laverne, Albert, Kenny, Rich and Donnie Cline and a sister, Jessie Bable.
Friends will be received Monday from 11:00 am until the time of service at 1:00 pm in the HILL AND KUNSELMAN FUNERAL HOME, www.hillandkunselman.com , 3801 Fourth Avenue, Beaver Falls. Interment will be in Grandview Cemetery, Big Beaver Borough.
Lloyd’s family would like to thank Gentiva Hospice, especially Rick, Billie Jo and Kat for their dedicated care.
