In Memory Of
Floyd E. Humiston
1929 - 2019
He was born in Syracuse, NY, and spent most of his childhood and teenage years in New Woodstock and Sheds, NY, attending high school in Cazenovia.
Floyd enlisted in the US Army in 1947. During his 20 years of service, he was stationed in Paris working with NATO and served in the Korean War and Vietnam War in the intelligence field. Over the course of his career, he earned, and was decorated with, metals of commendation, service and the infantry badge, of which he was most proud. He was a proud, intelligent officer, and was honorably discharged as Major Floyd E. Humiston on July 31, 1967.
After serving in the Army, he was employed as production planner at Cambridge Filter in Liverpool.

Humiston; grandchildren, Mike, Lindsay Anne, Donald, Cyndi, Onikka and Karen; siblings, Dolores A. (Ronnie) Hill, Thomas J. Humiston, Patricia (Edgar) House, Robert R. (Patricia) Humiston; many very special great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, extended family and devoted friends.
