Floyd Herbert

Very sorry to hear that Floyd passed some time ago. I worked with Floyd in 1978 to 1983 when I managed a computer system for his research group. I learned a lot from Floyd and had great respect for him. I offer my much belated condolences.

I've not seen or talked to Maggie in decades but I feel comforted to know that she had the love of a man who many people admired. I wrote this poem a few years back when my brother was diagnosed with colon cancer. I hope it conveys my empathy and condolences.
CANDLES

I wipe her fevered brow.
I'm not sick says she.
I know,
But I'll bring tea.

I find her pulse,
So steady now,
belies the tempest
in her chest.

I only met Floyd a few times through his wife, my friend, Maggie. We drifted apart recently and I will always regret the lost opportunity to know Floyd better. I cherish my memories of the love and happiness shared by Floyd and Maggie. Maggie - my thoughts are with you always.

I knew Floyd only slightly, in the 60's and 70's, and remember him as a kind, dedicated, and diligent person. I am grateful that he lived.

We met Floyd through our long time Ca. friend, Maggie. Her move to Az.made us very sad, but we were very touched by the love that she found there. First impressions of Floyd with his blue jeans,suspenders and flannel shirts brought to mind a very down to earth person,which he was but his mind was on the celestial wave length.We thought it cosmic that the day after Floyd passed there was a large upheaval in the gaseous clouds covering Jupiter..perhaps Floyds loving and funny spirit.

We only got to spend time with him once, but we have laughed and talked about that meeting many times since. May he rest in peace, and may his wife find comfort in happy memories.

I got to know Floyd when we moved to the LPL Sonett Bldg. He often helped me with scientific data. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Floyd was the most modest, kindest, and smartest colleague - a truly rare combination.
