From Mark Barnett and Family
Lloyd was one of Budd and Companies original customers. My Grandfather told me he gave Lloyd credit and could pay his automobile bill on time as he knew he was a man of his word. Lloyd was known for keeping his cars in immaculate condition and I was proud to help him keep them up. I had a special bond with Lloyd. He always called me Junior. When he spoke to me he always had my undivided attention. I will always have the utmost respect for him. I will miss him.
