Lloyd Busby
Lloyd M. Busby, 63, of Augusta, passed away suddenly at his home Friday evening, August 5, 2016.  

Lloyd Manley Busby was born November 29, 1952. He was raised, attended school and graduated high school on French Island in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Lloyd spent all of his life in the restaurant business as a cook, a profession he truly enjoyed. He had worked in LaCrosse at the Country Kitchen before moving to Augusta in 1987. After moving to Augusta he was employed for 19 years at the Norske Nook in Osseo, unfortunately ill health forced his retirement in 2006. Through out his life he had always enjoyed hunting and fishing in Wisconsin. Through mutual friends Lloyd was introduced to Patricia (Casper) Crawford of Waukesha, a widow and mother of 6 children. It was in Waukesha on November 25, 1989 that his life changed forever, as he was united in marriage to Pat and became a loving dad to her children. Not only did he become an amazing dad to 6, but eventually a doting grandfather to 25 and great grandfather to 7. Spending time with his family meant the world to him and the relationship his family had with Tim LeBarron and Tom LeBarron and his family were also very special to him. Whether it was playing cards or Lloyd preparing a meal, everyone benefited by the friendship. . When he was forced to retire, taking care of his family filled his days with happiness and relieved the boredom. 

  Lloyd will be dearly missed by Patricia, his loving wife of 26 years; 2 sons, Matthew (Lynda) Crawford of Eagle, Patrick Crawford (Robyn Wiemer) of Holcombe; 4 daughters, Michelle (Robert) Hinzman of Arcadia, Carol (Shawn) Benavides of Waukesha, Janet (Travis) Johnson of Fountain City, Erin Crawford of Augusta; 25 grandchildren, Kayla Hinzman, Bethany Crawford, Merinda Hinzman, Nina Hinzman,Joseph Hinzman, Arianna (Colt) Davis, Cortez Benavides, Taylor Crawford, Chelsey Crawford, Emily Crawford, Jamey Wetley, Jessey Wetley, Austin Crawford, Shelby Chandler, Curtis Cusick, Nicholas Kirkey, Colton Solie, Dalton Wiemer, Alysa Sprester, Cory Kirchoff Jr., Spencyr Johnson, Riley Johnson, ShyeAnn Johnson, Dakota Kuhn, and Domanic Myers; 7 great grandchildren, Abel, Lilly, Jacksyn, Jordan, Junior, Charlotte and Harvey. He is further survived by his brothers, Pete (Barbara) Durham of Carthage, MO, Eddie Durham of Eau Claire; sister, Marilyn (Dean) Brown of Cove, AR; very close aunt and uncle, Jerry and Diane Durham of Thorp; numerous nieces, nephews and in-laws.
