Mr. Floyd retired from the City of East Moline after 20 years of service as a Waste Water Treatment Operator. He was an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan.

In their younger years Bill and Marla enjoyed playing in softball leagues, going on road trips, and being at the East Moline Speedway in the pits. Bill was hardworking, never knew a stranger, enjoyed the simple things in life, and had a notorious sense of humor. He loved spending time with his family. As a young man, he was a proud member of DeMolay in Colona, and was a 20 year member and former Union Steward of AFSCME #1234.
