Floyd Earl Rosenlund left this world March 25th from the Circle of Life at Kootenai Memorial Hospital after a long battle with cancer.
Floyd (Rosie) was born in Gibbs, Idaho on September 10, 1930 to Axel and Alice. He served in the Navy during the Korean War and on his return led an interesting life as a jack of all trades. There was no job that he was unwilling to try while at the same time being the proprietor of several locally famous taverns: the Sportsman's Lounge, the Tower Inn, and the Lakers Inn. He also had a long career working in the equipment room at North Idaho College.
He had two passions in life, the outdoors and athletics. He was an avid hunter and fisherman spending countless days fishing the lakes of the region and during hunting season you would find him camped out on the Joe looking for elk and spending time with his friends. As a tavern owner he played on and sponsored many teams in many sports. His softball teams from the Tower and Lakers had won many state and regional tournaments and traveled to the national championship. For many years Floyd traveled with the North Idaho College basketball team as the equipment man and game cameraman.
Floyd is survived by sister Jean Webster, sons Axel (Rusty), James with wife Theresa, Joseph with wife Sarah, and daughter Lynn Iverson; and ten grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by Alice, his wife of 56 years, his parents, brothers Edward and Alvin, and grandson William Wilcox.
There will be a celebration of his life at the Eagles on April 16, 2011. Donations can be made to the North Idaho College Athletics. Yates Funeral is entrusted with the care of final arrangements.
