Floyd Gerald Bloss

Floyd Gerald Bloss, age 93, passed away on Sunday morning February 2, 2020 after a lengthy battle with dementia.

Floyd was born October 28, 1926 in Chittenango, NY to Floyd G and Mildred (Thayer) Bloss. Floyd served in the United States Air Force from October 5, 1946 to August 30, 1949. He was stationed in Cheyenne, WY where he was introduced to Lyla through a friend, who thought they would be perfect for each other. They began corresponding through letters. As soon as he was honorably discharged from the service, he made his way to Hastings to meet Lyla in person. The rest is history and he married the love of his life, Lyla Reaser on February 9, 1950.

Floyd was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife Lyla and children, Debra, Kim and Craig; brother, Robert; sisters, Ruth Anderson, June Bloss and Lois Davis; brothers-in-law, Charles Reaser, Harry Reaser, Robert Reaser and Ralph Reaser, sisters-in-law Patricia Fuhr, Joyce Martz, and Kate Cisler.

Floyd was a generous man and a sweet soul and will be deeply missed by his brother Walter and sister Marie Hale; sisters-in-law, Shirley Reaser and Janet Reaser of Hastings and Phyllis Bridenstine of Galesburg; as well as many nieces and nephews and several great-nieces and nephews.

Floyd and Lyla loved and laughed throughout their 64 years of marriage. Floyd was a very astute and multi-faceted businessman with successful businesses in Hawaii, Las Vegas and Michigan.
