Floyd was a proud life member of VFW Post 3404 and American Legion Post 639.
He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Doris (Roy) Compton; his son Ronald D. Compton (Carol Scheetz) of Topeka, Kansas; and daughters Connie Compton (Dave Camey) of Springfield, Missouri, and Ann Rauch (Bill) of Billings, Missouri. He is also survived by eight grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren; a brother, Willie Compton and sister, Cleva Middleton.
Visitation will be 5:30 to 7:30 P.M., Wednesday, June 7, 2017, in Meadors Funeral Home, Clever, MO. The funeral will be at 10:30 A.M., Thursday, June 8, also in the funeral home. Burial, with military honors, will follow in Union Ridge Cemetery, South of Clever.

I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Floyd and Doris. They were such a nice couple. Each summer, Floyd would keep my family supplied with fresh produce from his garden. May they rest in peace.
