Lloyd Mackay - Page 4

We were shocked and saddened by the news, when we heard at the
track this afternoon. Lloyd was a real class act and a true gentleman....
and a excellent racer.

Prayers being sent for his family!

Lloyd was a class act. He was kind, always with a nice thing to say and a positive attitude. I always admired his racing combinations and willingness to try something different.

Bernie, that would be great if you could make that happen.

Today in honor of Lloyd we will eat at Steak and Shake.
Those who knew him best will understand.

RIP my friend.

him. RIP Lloyd you will be missed but always remembered.

Like everyone has said, Lloyd was simply a great guy. There aren't many people you meet that don't have some negative qualities, but I can't think of one when I think of Lloyd. He was the most likeable person I think I've ever met.

Over the last few years, I got to be very good friends with Lloyd. Not just a race track friend, but a real friend. Donna and I flew out here on Monday morning and spent all day Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with him. Like Bernie said, one of Lloyd's new interests was real estate, and he was helping us find a property here.

As I got to know him better, it became clear what a sharp and savvy business person he was, and the real estate deal was no exception. The old "you can't judge a book by it's cover" was made for him. But by the same token, he was the most genuine, what you see is what you get sort. No pretense whatsoever.

We were at one of Lloyd's favorite restaurants, Outback, Wednesday night. I bought dinner as a token of appreciation for all his help, but my man Lloyd had his coupon for a free Blooming Onion. Anyone that really knows him will appreciate that, in addition to his standard drink order of "Coke, no ice". When we left him around 9pm, he was fine.

I spent a little time with Monica and Donald yesterday. Obviously, they're devastated and need time to get a plan together, but Lloyd has a lot of great friends that will help to shoulder the burden.

This man had worked hard his whole life and had himself postured to enjoy the next 20+ years. Totally 'effin sucks doesn't even get us started.

Great job with the photos Jimmy.
