We are deeply saddened by the loss of your dad , Floyd. Billy worked with Floyd at the Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District , 1956 until1965 in Program Development Branch. We visited with your mother Pauline and Floyd at their home in Cloverdale many times, and we knew all three of you boys. We went on an office weekend camping and fishing trip to Lake Nimrod, and had a wonderful time
One of the men promised us a fish dinner. That did not happen. For dinner, we had fried potatoes, onions, hush puppies cole slaw, NO FISH, but a lot of fun.. May your Precious Memories brighten your tomorrows. With love, Billy and Dot English.

We are deeply saddened to hear of Floyd's death. Billy and Floyd worked together at the Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District 1956 until 1965. Floyd and Billy went fishing together
several times during that period. We visited his home in Cloverdale and knew all three of you boys. We loved Floyd and your mother Pauline. They went with us on an office camping and fishing trip at Lake Nimrod, and we all had a wonderful time. One of the men on the trip guaranteed a Fish Dinner, however, that night, we had fried potatoes, hush puppies and slaw for dinner ....No fish...but we had fun.
