My sympathy to the family of Floyd for this loss.

I know Floyd from NCR. He seemed to be always ready to see humor in our situations, and had fun at our parties. We emailed occasionally about some things on the internet, and on several TV set problems we had in common.

I send my deepest condolences to Floyd's family.

I got to know Floyd at NCR. He loved to talk about sports and had a great sense of humor. He always enjoyed getting together with his NCR buddies. After retirement, he would call me now and then and we would discuss many topics, but especially sports and computers (the good old days).

Rest in peace good friend.
