Lloyd Cymrot ’63
Lloyd Cymrot ’63 died April 7, 2010. He lived in Novato, California, and suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease). Lloyd was born on Long Island, New York, and lived in Brooklyn. In 1951 at the age of 8 he moved to Long Beach, New York, and graduated from high school at the age of 16. At Dartmouth Lloyd majored in English, graduated Phi Beta Kappa, was a member of Jack-O-Lantern and played baseball and basketball. Lloyd graduated from Harvard Law School and settled in New York City, where he taught junior high school in Spanish Harlem. He went into corporate law and worked for several law firms in New York and Boston. He eventually became a real estate investor, moved to Los Angeles and then to Marin County in California. Lloyd was an accomplished tennis player and devoted golfer and art collector. He was especially proud of the academic and dramatic accomplishments of his daughters Chelsea-Anne and Cortnay-Beth. He attended every one of Chelsea’s school plays even after ALS limited his ability to move. Through his strength and stamina he far exceeded the normal life span of the disease. In addition to his daughters, Lloyd is survived by his wife, Susan, and brother Joel. Donations may be made in Lloyd’s name to Project ALS.
