Rest Floyd, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.
Thank you for your service to this nation.

Uncle Floyd, I will always remember my first trip to Disney. I was 9 years old and had never been on a trip like that before. I developed a love for roller coasters that year! (Even though I clearly look terrified in the picture) I'll never forget how you sound singing Barbara Ann! You inspired me to travel. I'll never forget the Easter when you bought the RV! The little bunny feet and clues leading me to my Easter basket in the new RV, how exciting that was! I'll never forget going to the Hunter Christmas reunion with high hopes of spending the night with you! (You and Aunt Peggy always said yes) You and I would sit up late eating boiled peanuts. I'll never forget watching you with Josie. The look in your eyes and the smile on your face. You understood me. You knew the battles I faced and you were there for me when I called. Give Aunt Peggy a big hug for me. Until I see you again. I love you so much.
