I wish I had paid more attention, Floyd would come into my store, he was dubbed "Mr. Adorable" as he definitely was. I looked forward to his visits when he was able to stop in, and the occasional "gift" he would bring me, plus the wonderful conversations! I will always think fondly on him and miss him greatly. So sorry for your loss Dennis, and the huge loss to Kingsley of one precious man.

Denny, I'm so sorry for the loss of your Father. My heart goes out to you at this time of sorrow. This is not an easy process, no matter what our age. I
just came across this while looking for my son's obituary. I wish you peace.

Denny, I am so sorry for the passing of your Dad. A great big knowledge of history has passed. He always had some history to tell us, about family or about the town. I will miss him. God Bless. Joan (Newmarch) Willingham
