Lake Mills/Madison—Lloyd J. Renz, (Harley Davidson Lloyd), age 90, passed away on Monday, March 26, 2018 at the Fort Atkinson Hospital. He was born on January 17, 1928 and was the son of George and Helen (Benisch) Renz. He served in the United States Army in Germany followed by 45 years of employment at Oscar Mayer followed by an active retirement, racking up tens of thousands of miles on his Harley Davidson. Riding his Harley was his passion and his Mecca was Springfield, Illinois for the granddaddy of all motorcycle races, The Springfield Mile. For over sixty years he made this journey twice per year along with every major motorcycle race throughout the Midwest. His wide circle of riding buddies affectionately referred to him as “Killer.” Killer is now riding the open roads of Heaven with his fellow motorcycle enthusiasts, free of his failing body.
