Miss you Dad. You´re my hero. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

As a new attorney (1973) practicing estate planning, I met Floyd through one of his insurance agencies in Provo, Utah. He was innovative in that he approached prospective clients by introducing them to the need for estate planning (wills, trust, etc.) He used a remarkable and effective "gimmick" to get a prospective client's attention: A black, velvet bag tied at the end with a gold cord. In the bag was a little safe containing the Weston Family documents: everything a family would need to...

I was a full time missionary in Salt Lake south mission in 1983-1985. I served as an assistant to the mission president and during one of the visits in St. George area I participated in a fireside where brother Weston talked.

He agreed and a...

Missing my grandpa today! I think of him often. He played such a crucial role in my life. He was such a great example of member missionary work and service! I loved how bold he was. He truly served without fear!

Floyd´s personal taped story of his amazing conversion (17 Points of the True Church) has been an inspiration to me for many years ever since I first heard his talk while serving on my mission in British Columbia, Canada in 1965-67. Later in 1972-76 while attended chiropractic college I became acquainted with his son and son-in-law Rick (Laurie) Hulbert. Rick and Laurie were home teachers to my wife´s and I.

To the Floyd Weston family I am 92 years old in six days and want all of you to know that the most memorable days of my life were spent with your dad. Carol Lee and I spent many hours with he and your mom during my lifetime. I was never with him when he didn´t talk about the gospel of Jesus Christ and I am sure that my strong testimony today is because of him. Carol Lee and I loved him with all of our hearts and because of him we are well acquainted with all of you and love all of you also....
