Thank you all for your kind words and tributes to my uncle. It has been 10 days of whirlwind activity talking to reporters and trying to get Floyd home to South Dakota. He was laid to rest next to my grandmother at Veblen cemetery with a drum group singing a traditional song and a veteran playing taps as the sun set and horses snorted in the cold clear air. He is my father's brother and we will all miss him very much. Wopida tanka. Tosta ake.
