Floyd died at Good Samaritan Society-Atwood. He entered the US Army in 1953 and served his country at Fort Bliss, TX earning an Honorable discharge in 1955 from active duty followed by 8 years in the Army Reserve. Floyd married his wife June 12, 1961. He was a loving and devoted husband, caring for her was his priority. After Floyd's retirement, the couple spent time traveling together in their camper. Frequent trips to Iowa to spend time with their son and his wife, and their grandchildren were his favorite journeys. Another memorable trip was to Alaska with Floyd's brother-in-law and wife..
Floyd was a devout Christian and very active in his church, where he enjoyed singing in the church choir, served as an Elder, and he held many positions within the church over the years. For many years he enjoyed being a part of the Western Kansas Men's Barbershop Chorus and even dragged his wife to several of the performances. He was also a member of the Atwood Masonic Lodge recently receiving his 60-year pin.
He was very active with the Atwood Senior Citizens Center, including serving on the Board, and he enjoyed playing cards at the Good Samaritan Center. He delivered meals for many years and looked forward to visiting with everyone he met. He always liked to discuss farming, the weather, or just about anything with anyone at any time; he loved to regale stories and jokes to anyone that would listen (and even those that didn't). He never knew a stranger and would lend a hand to anyone that needed it.
Floyd loved spending time with his family, especially his granddaughters and his great-grandson. His quirky sense of humor caused many an eye roll from his granddaughters over the years.
Floyd was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Merle, Gene, Bernard, Elmer, Fay, and Darrell Trail, and sister, Betty Brown.
He is survived by his wife of Atwood; a son, anf wife of Johnston, IA; a brother, of Atwood; a sister and husband of New Orleans, LA and a sister of St. Francis, KS; three sisters-in-laws; three grandchildren, all of New Virginia, and one of Johnston, IA; one great-grandchild, and numerous nieces and nephews.
A memorial service was held at the First Christian Church, Atwood. Inurnment was at a later date.
