Marilyn and Family...You have my deepest condolences. Floyd will be truly missed by all whom he came in contact with. He will be remembered for his humor, his laughter and mostly by the respect he had for everyone. I am glad to say that I knew Floyd and worked with him. Hey Floyd, I miss you and I know that you will be watching over all of us as we watched over you during your journey.

Deepest Condolences to Marilyn and the family. Floyd, as you all know, was one of those rare kinds of people that took you at face value, accepted you no matter your faults, and was so jovial and happy to be around. I enjoyed those trips to Laughlin with Floyd & Marilyn. It was a high point of my year. He fought valiantly against odds that were stacked against him. We will be thinking of you.

I will always remember Floyd for his humor and wit. We worked together at IBM he always made time to joke and laugh at what the day may bring. His favorite good morning greeting to me was "Hey Good Morning Easy Money". I will carry fond thoughts for Floyd for the rest of my day's. We will miss you good buddy.
