I haven't had contact with Floyd since the 70s when he came by my office in Dallas.
He made a special trip to see me.
Not til today, July,2018 was I aware of his departure and am very, very depressed I don't have another day with his companionship.
I want to talk with him again.
We worked together in Huntsville for NASA contractors, General Electric, IBM and in Pikiune(sp?) Mississippi at the Mississippi Test Flight facility.
I recall his sense of humor where he would draw pinup girls in the corner of formal government design drawings very often.
He worked along side me at SPACO in Huntsville where his wife Bessie would add cake etc. to his brown-bag lunch every day for me and I loved visting, usually for supper with Bessie, Sharon and Betty.
I loved them all and they gave me more attention than I deserved.
I wish life's daily drugery had not separated us unessarly.
Girls, I loved your Mom and Pop.
I felt I was a part of your family.
