We were deeply saddened to read of Floyd’s passing.
We recall fondly the many hours we shared at the Blue Jay baseball games tempering our visiting with dodging errant balls. Our association with Floyd and you always made it much more than just another baseball game.
Our deepest condolences to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Ruth and Al Bedell
