In Memorium

Lyle ran the Huffman Car Wash for 55 years while eating, sleeping, and breathing car wash and dedicating his life to it up until he was too sick to get out of bed. His courage and stubbornness set examples for hundreds of teenagers who worked there throughout the years and whenever you talk to a new person who worked there, once upon a time, they all speak with great pride of knowing Lyle. They speak of fond memories and inspiration instilled in them in the time of knowing him and working for him.

The car wash has always had a great sense of family, and that's not just including Huffman’s. All the workers have also become part of that family as they carry on their experience, inspiration, as well as the memory of Lyle. The car wash has been a home to many teenagers and young adults over the years who were given a chance to work even if they weren't the most naturally gifted. Lyle was always willing to give people a chance to grow and mature through work experience which shaped a countless number of young workers since 1968. He was a great influence on all those young workers. He was as dedicated and stubborn as it gets. Even when he was going through severe health problems, he still managed to get the car wash and get work done every single day. He worked up until he was forced away from the car wash and Brad took over. Brad also takes great pride in continuing his dad’s great work to further shape the young workers who choose the car wash as their place of refuge.
