Lloyd's niece, Deborah Shapley, is a Washington DC based science writer and activist. She is developing a website of material about her grandfather (Lloyd's father) Harlow Shapley.
In connection with that, she's published a website about Lloyd, that talks about his life and his work:
"Lloyd Shapley received the Nobel prize from King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden at the annual grand ceremony in December 2012. Among the Nobelists my uncle Lloyd was the tallest. At age 89, he was the oldest. Though wobbly he was dignified and humorous. He also differed from the others by his convention-defying hair - which resembled the mathematical algorithm for which he won science’s highest honor.
"At the time I posted about our family’s glorious days in Stockholm. Now that my writing focuses on high achievement in science, including that of the Shapleys, I dug a bit into the story of my talkative, funny, floppy-haired uncle."
