Our friend Floyd passed away today. I met Floyd in the hospital when we first moved to Cuyahoga Falls. We spent time together as Georgia and I visited him those days. For some reason he always referred to me as "Sid." His daughter Beth asked him why and he didn't really have an answer. Apparently, I looked more like a "Sid" than a "Chris." Well we all have laughed about that and in the days before Sydney was born, that became the joking and then serious name we were considering. I guess you could say that Floyd helped name our daughter.
Floyd never got to see her in person. He had taken sick not long after she was born and had been in the hospital for several weeks. We took pictures up so he could see her, though. I'm sure she would have loved him.
