Floyd was born December 21, 1919 on the farm near Gray, SK where he lived and worked until he joined the armed forces in 1941. He transferred to the air force and trained as a wireless operator. While on service overseas he received his commission and when discharged held the rank of Flying Officer. After the war he brought his new wife Christina back to the farm where they raised their family and he continued to do the work he loved as long as his health permitted. After farming his second passion was all sports especially hockey, baseball, curling and football. Floyd donated countless volunteer hours to the Milestone Rink and gleaned just as many hours of enjoyment following his beloved Milestone Flyers.
