I was so sorry to read about Lloyd’s passing today! I always looked forward to seeing him at events that Hess BBQ was vending at. We served together on the planning committee for the Keystone Classic BBQ event and I always enjoyed our conversations. RIP my friend…

It is never easy to lose a family member/cousin so unexpectedly. Just several month ago Lloyd and I took a walk though his shop in Willow Street and shared good memories from the past. Ike Thomas

In addition to the great food and service, Lloyd’s warm personality and smile always made the day better. I was shocked to hear of Lloyd’s passing and send my deepest condolenses to his family and close friends.
