Lloyd was a man who always had a good word for others and a smile on his face. Whether it was a soft tire or an expired inspection sticker, he noticed it first and reminded me. It was always good conversation. Rest well, my friend.

While going to college I use to work at Coneheads, about 20 yrs ago. Mr.Fargo would stop in and pick up a coffee on his way to visit his daughter. Over the years he became a regular, when I saw him pull in the parking lot I would start pouring his to go coffee. At the time, I owned a Chevy Corsica. Over a period of 3 or 4 years I must of lost at least 5 hubcaps while working at Coneheads and I couldn't stand the sight of it. While picking up his coffee Mr.Fargo would notice my missing hubcap. Surprisingly a few days later I would be leaving work for the day and notice that my hubcap had been replaced. He did this time and time again. Mr.Fargo was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. I will always remember his generosity!

I‘ll truly miss my coffee buddy at Knotty Pine and our interesting conversations. We talked a lot of shop talk about cars and trucks. He'd bring in pictures of cars he had and the value of them now if he would have kept them. He loved his garage, and how he wished he hadn't retired so soon, he missed all of his customers and their visits even if they didn't need work done. He loved the NASCAR races and we had many conversations about them. He gave me my first cowboy hat that I proudly wear when I follow around my cousin's country band. I could go on forever about Lloyd, he was always such a caring person. I'm so sad to lose such a wonderful friend. R.I.P. Lloyd
