Pam, We were so sorry to hear about Floyd. He was a great man and I hope you know if you need anything we are here for you.

Dow & Becky Stevens Tuesday February 5, 2008 at 7:07 AM

Dear Pam, Kevins and Lisa and family, I wish there was some way I could take some of your grief for you. It must be so hard losing Lisa's Dad and now Floyd so close together. Floyd was a pleasure to know and love. He was always so happy and funny. Our yearly 4th of July picnic will never be as much fun without him. He was much too young to be taken from you but I'm sure God has a plan. You know we are always just as far away as a phone call if you all need anything. Call us anytime for anything. Our love, thoughts and prayers go out to you every waking moment. Love, Dow & Becky:-)

Dear Pam and Family, I wanted to send our deepest sympathy to you and your family. I know we've only met you and Floyd a couple of times through Diana Spencer but I know from stories I've heard just how wonderful a person he was and what a great loss for all. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family and may God wrap all of you with his love. Love, Rick and Dolores Garvey

Pam, I am sorry for your loss. I am one of Diana's camping buddies. I had the privledge of meeting him when you all were visiting with Di and Jackie. He made quite an impression on me, the short time I was able to visit with him. He had such a warm smile and made you feel right at home instantly. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

beth murphy( roberts ) Monday February 4, 2008 at 9:01 AM

i just wanted to send my deepest sympathy to all of you. My dad (murph)was so fond of Floyd...i find it so very surreal that both these men have left our lives long before they should have. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you...he and my dad are in a better place now....together....and forever in all of our hearts.

Pat (Sissy) Sunday February 3, 2008 at 8:30 PM

Dear Pam, Kevin, Lisa, Cody, Chris & family I just want to let you know that I am thinking of you. My memories of Floyd will always be warm ones and what a jolly person he was. He always could make you laugh. We will miss him but we know that he is reminencing with Dad, Uncle Hartford, Grandma & Grandpa Geary, Tommy. Their having a family reunion. Here's a blessing for all. "The Lord watch between you and me, when we are absent one from the other" (Gen.31:49) Even though I cannnot be with you, even though I cannot see you or talk with you, I am close to you as a thought. I am as near to you as the love I feel for you in my heart. Whenever I think of you, I bless you and my love enfolds you, though the ends of the earth may separate us. I do not worry about you. I know that God is with you and that God is your health, your strength, your source of supply, your happiness, and your peace of mind. Wherever you are, God is: wherever I am, God is. God is watching over us while we are absent one from the other and helping us know that we are forever one in Spirit. My love to all, Pat (Sissy)

I never really have the pleasure to work with Virgil but because I worked day shift and he worked evening shift. But I did become acquainted with him during the changing shifts. He was well liked by everyone in the shop and I personally enjoyed his wonderful sense of humor. I am sure he will be missed by many who loved him.
