Lloyd Roseville Crouse PC, ONS (November 19, 1918 – April 28, 2007) was a retired businessman, politician and former Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, Canada.
Crouse was born in 1918 in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. In his youth, Crouse established three fishing companies. During World War II, he served as a pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Crouse entered politics winning a seat in the Canadian House of Commons as the Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Queens—Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, and was re-elected on ten successive occasions. (Beginning with the 1968 election his riding changed to South Shore.)
In 1985, in honour of his long service, he was appointed to the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, entitling him to use the prenominal title "The Honourable".
In 1989, after 32 years as an MP, he left politics with his appointment as Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia. He retired from the position in 1994. He received the Order of Nova Scotia in 2002, the third ever recipient of the honour. He died at the age of age 88 in his hometown of Lunenburg. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Marion, and a son, Stephen.
