Tributes & Memories
Dear Bruce, Denise, Jeff, Carolanne, Donna and Andrew, Uncle Floyd will be greatly missed. We can't help but believe that he died of a broken heart. The thought of living without Aunt Ora was too much for him. The love that they had for one another is something that most people only read about. But your parents had the real thing and a wonderful family to show for all their caring. We feel so fortunate to have all been together for his birthday last year and we will carry those memories with us forever. And how do we thank him and your mother for being with us during the last days of our father’s life. He redefined what is to be a wonderful brother. Uncle Floyd had it all – he was incredibly interesting, amazingly thoughtful and inclusive in all his endeavors. We all will treasure the photographs that he took and sent to each of us as a mementos of one of his many interests. He truly was a Renaissance man. Please know that our hearts are with you as you grieve for your father. Our condolences, Yvonne, Richard, Lorraine, Greg and Cindy

I will truly miss Uncle Del. He was a wonderful person. When we came to Oklahoma to visit him, he showed us a most enjoyable time. He gave each of us, my sisters and I, one of his photographs. I will treasure mine forever. It is of the southern tip of Africa and I have it framed and hanging where I just have to lift my eyes from my computer screen to see it. He will be missed.
