Lloyd couldn’t make it to the memorial service, but she wrote a speech about him that was read there. Barbara Klobach can’t find a copy of that speech now. It’s somewhere, she said, but her life is still upended because of her husband’s death.

All around her are reminders of his coaching career — trophies and plaques and DVDs like “Coaching the English Premier League 4-4-2” and “The German ‘Touch’: Consolidating Individual Skills and Ball Control.” Six whistles hang on lanyards just inside the door to the garage. A banner marking Delran’s — and Lloyd’s — two runner-up finishes in the state championship takes up nearly half of the garage’s back wall.

Barbara Klobach knew what she had signed up for when she married him 10 years ago, the second marriage for both. They had met on a blind date, and he was more than an hour late because one of his players had been injured in a game and he needed to take her to the hospital.

She found out back then how much he cared about his players. And how he would still care about them, if he were around.

Thinking about how connected he would have felt to Sunday’s World Cup final made her voice start to crack.

“I’m so sorry he’s not here to see it,” she said, wiping away a tear. “I guess I’ll have to watch it for him.”
