DELORESE YOU HAVE MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY .

He was the best uncle, but he would never cut my hair the way I wanted it done and I always think of him when brushing my teeth because he would always give me heck about squeezing the tube in the middle, and elbows on the table.

Family and friends knew him as Chow. He was a WORLD WAR II Veteran, drafted out of high school, and he was in the Philippines, training for the invasion of the Japan, when the war ended. He was an avid sportsman, loved hunting and fishing and taught us kids about both, along with football, baseball, and hockey. He bought me my first set of weights. We will miss him. John, Florida, and Family.

I don't remember exactly where I met Floyd, but I do remember that he and Delores were engaged on our wedding and I was so happy for them. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Love and will miss you. Randy and Gay Stencil
