After returning from his mission to the Northwest States in 1950, he married Rita Bickmore

Education from Utah State University in 1975 and taught seminary and institute in Garland,
UT, Logan, UT and Laie, HI. Together Floyd and Rita served five additional missions in Hawaii,
Pennsylvania and here at home. Floyd served as a High Councilman, Bishop, and temple
worker. He loved and memorized many scriptures, poems and jokes; which he shared with
everyone he met.
Floyd and Rita were fortunate to travel to many states and countries, making wonderful friends
along the way. His great examples of love, generosity, sense of humor, and testimony have
touched his family and others who knew him. In addition to his teaching, Floyd enjoyed
farming and working the land, as well as raising horses and cattle.
