CondolencesThe following condolences were left by family, friends, and loved ones of Floyd E. Miller Sr..
We are saddened by the news of Floyd's passing. He was a good and kind man. He was my daughter's grandfather and we loved him. I send my condolences to Ria, Lorie, J.R. and Gerald. I know you will all miss him terribly. Janie Zecher Its with regret that our families weren't more in touch as we all grew older. I remember Floyd but being a younger cousin I was more in tune with the girls. May the family have pleasant memories of Floyd's life and be drawn closer to the Heavenly Father at this time. Sincerely, Martha Hochstetler Monhaut, cousin Martha Hochstetler Monhaut
