BABB, Lloyd (Age 96) 

Lloyd Emory Babb of Spokane, Washington passed away
September 16, 2006. He was an innovative man who could
build or repair anything. He spent a number of years
as a roofer and placed the last silver ball in the top
of the carousel before it was moved to Riverfront
Park. He was a man of impeccable character and
maintained the highest degree of integrity when he
served as president of the Pressman's Union during his
years as a printer. He helped the War effort in WW II
by working at the naval supply depot and was asked not
to enlist because being qualified to provide supplies
was so important. He was known in later years for his
unique ability to paint beautiful mountain scenes
using colored "taping-mud" as a medium. He also
designed miniature tree scenes by using sawdust on
wire to create trees, bushes and flowers. He loved God
and Country and passed this legacy on to his family.
He was a beloved father who instilled his qualities in
his daughter. He was fun loving, laughed a lot, and
loved his family. He was an asset to Spokane and will
be missed by many. Survived by wife, Shirley Babb; two
daughters, Diana (Frank) Bongiorno, Depot Bay, OR and
Virginia (Roy) Gadd, Spokane; three grandchildren,
AdamRussell, Hermiston, OR, Daniel Gadd, Spokane, and
Amy Gadd, Spokane; and three great-grandchildren, Levi
Russell, Hermiston, OR, Garrett Russell, Hermiston,
OR, and Noah Gadd, Spokane. Viewing and Visitation
