He was also a member of the American Legion Post 258 in Little Chute and served 61 years as well as a member of the Knights of Columbus Council 1033.

He worked in the Construction Building trades for many years with many different crews, and was proud of all the projects he worked on, including the Prange building, and the AAL building downtown Appleton. He developed lifetime friendships from those work crews. He also worked 12 years for the Village of Combined Locks with the Street Department and in Parks.  Prior to retiring he worked through Building Services at the Combined Locks mill until his retirement.

Floyd was an avid hunter and fisherman in his younger years and his family and friends were very important to him.  He loved socializing and enjoyed playing his harmonica especially when accompanied by others playing the harmonica or accordion.  Polkas were his music of choice.  His yard and his garden occupied his time and he was very proud of how well he kept it up.  Floyd was generous and loved giving away the fruits of his labors.  He had a funny sense of humor and a warm, kind spirit.  Dad, we love you and will miss you dearly.
