Hello Viola, Chosan, and Donna. My father, Carl Robinson and I (Emporia Virginia) were saddened to learn of Floyd's passing. We were just reminiscing about Floyd's and Carl's friendship while they served in the Army in Korea together and thereafter. Even after so, so many years without being in touch, our memories of more youthful days are warm and fond. God bless you all and maybe we will connect again one day.
