Mrs. Elrod:

I was both shocked and saddened to hear of Floyds death. I was stationed with Floyd in the 384th OMS and worked with him on a daily basis. I organize the 384th Reunion each year so notified all on our mailing list of Floyds death. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

To the family of a fellow Airman,
My prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. Floyd and I were stationed together in the 384th OMS at McConnell AFB in Wichita, Kansas. I left Wichita in early 1979 and have been kept in the OMS loop by Jay Stark. May God be with you and keep you in His care.

Gloria and Amanda,
We are so saddened by the loss of Floyd. He was always so kind and so supportive of all the girls during soccer season. I don't know what we will do without his encouragement next season. May God comfort you through this difficult time and please let us know if we can do anything for you.
