Floyd was my broad shouldered BROTHER via my adoption by his Mother, Dorothy and stepfather Ted Rogers when I was 9 months old….He totted me around on those broad shoulders every chance I got to weddle him into it. He as an extremely handsome man. He went away to fight in the Korean when he was barely 17. Some of my best times were when he came home on leave. He lived with us when we lived in Montana. His love for all things Indian prompted many hobbies, rock an arrowhead hunting plus being an avid hunter who respected the sanctity of the animals of the animals he feld. He was so proud of his bear rug that he mentioned it everytime we spoke on the phone. I regret not staying closer in touch. I love him very much and his passion for life. Thank all you friends who supported Floyd .Little sis misses his spirit. I do not have internet so it took a while to do this eulougy. Forgive me dear brother. I feel you are at peace.
