You and Jeanette as our next door condo neighbors made our first arrival to Ruidoso in 1995 as warm and friendly as anyone could expect. Thank you for all the good times since then and may God bless you and your family.

So sorry to hear of "Jacks" passing. We will always remember Floyd letting us call him Jack. His stories that he shared with us while cruising were so great and he always had good things to say about everyone. We will cherish the memories. Jeanette we will keep you in our prayers.

Jim and I are so sad that Floyd is no longer with us. We have so many good memories of travel, parties, TCU games, etc. I'll always remember that big smile and will cherish the good times together. Jeannette and Marci will have our support always.

I always saw Floyd as a "MAN FOR ALL SEASONS". FLOYD WAS AN EXECUTIVE WITH TOTAL INTEGRITY, A GOLFER WITH "PASSION FOR THE GAME", A FRIEND THAT EVERYONE WANTED TO BE IDENTIFIED WITH, AND, OF COURSE, A DEDICATED HUSBAND AND FATHER.
As the last Alcon Puerto Rico (Humacao) General Manager, I can only say thanks to the very first Alcon Puerto Rico General Manager (Floyd) for setting that major business in the right direction.

You are never far from our thoughts.

The loss we feel is, of course, magnified many times over by all the friends you made Floyd over the years. In our case a 20 year friendship that we treasure that will never be forgotten. The joy that you and Jeannette brought to any place you went always brought a special feeling to everyone in the room.

Our love always. Jule and Bob Sterchi (Ruidoso, New Mexico)
