Son of William Kinlaw Fore and Carrie Lee Pearce Fore.
He attended Oak Grove Shcool and graduated from Latta High School in 1932.
In 1933 he worked with the Civilian Conservation Corps and in 1936 with Duncan Dew hauling cotton and produce. He was working at the Baltimore Ship Yard when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor; he enlisted and joined the US Army Corps of Engineers and served in India, Burma and China helping build the Burma Road and Ledo Road (now called the Stilwell Road) linking India and China. These roads were the only means of driving the Japanese from Burma and re-establishing land communications with blockaded China for the first time since the Japanese invaded Burma. Mr. Fore's story is one of living under rigorous conditions, toiling and sweating through monsoons, mud and blistering heat, fighting the Japanese, the jungle, malaria and monotony. He was awarded the Asiatic Pacific Theater Campaign Medal with 2 bronze stars and The World War II Victory Medal. On Veterans Day, November 11, 2011, Dillon County honored him with the World War II Victory Commemorative Medal. Mr. Fore's uniform and notebooks with his story are part of the Dillon County Museum in Latta.
After the war, Lloyd was a construction supervisor with C.D. Spangler, supervising over 200 men building apartments at Camp Lejeune and homes in Winston-Salem.
Lloyd married the late Marian Paschal in 1938, and had one child, the late Anne Fore Chiocco.
