Ruth, this message is for you. Because your father and my mother were both on the second floor at Kingsway, I saw what a dedicated daughter you were to Lloyd. We both know that is one of the advantages of living in St.Marys. Your daily schedule will change-you and your mother will have to adjust. I will give you a hug the first time I see you. Cathy Taylor
Pat & John Harlton
Dear Isabel and all the Mardlin clan. We will always remember Lloyd with a smile and fondness as that was the way that he routinely greeted us and expressed his concern and kindness, each time we had the opportunity to meet. A simple way to put it is, “Lloyd was a darn decent human individual who loved his family, friends and customers. We are all richer and wiser
because of knowing Lloyd.
Ann Switzer
Isabel and family, I was saddened to hear of Lloyd’s passing. His wit, compassion, wealth of knowledge and above all friendship are things I will always cherish. He was the best boss ( or manager) a girl could ever hope for – always treated employees with respect. My sincere condolences to all of you.

Sincere condolences to our entire family at this sad time. Although grandpa lived a long and happy life it is very hard to say goodbye. Grandpa touched the lives of so many with his soft smile, generous heart and kind words. If you were looking for advice and leadership, you called Lloyd. He loved Isabel (Grandma)more than words can express and lived everyday for his wife and entire family. A great man may have passed from this world, but will live forever in memories and through smiles.

Dear Ruth and family members: Sincere condolences are being sent to you at this sad time. Your father was a fine man who always made me smile. He insisted his name was Lloyd and not Mr, Mardlin, it was a standing joke!!! I could
never seem to remember to refer to him as Lloyd and on we would go. The office would light up with smiles and stories when “Lloyd” would enter. God Bless Mr. Mardlin, you were a special and kind man. Please know the Mardlin family are in my thoughts and prayers
