San Antonio, TX Wednesday, April 13, 2011 Floyd was a very kind, thoughtful, and generous person. He was always nice to me, and I shall miss him. He and Grace were good friends of my mother and me when I lived in Fremont, and I have many fond memories of our times together. My most sincere condolences to Grace and Floyd's family, and may Floyd rest in peace.Pastor Greg Berger

Grand Island, NE Friday, April 15, 2011 I've known Floyd since my college days at Midland. My parents considered Floyd and Grace among their very close friends. Ironically, I am serving as Council Chair and on the Scholarship Committee at St. Paul's Lutheran in G.I. where we will award the Floyd and Grace Sager scholarship this coming week. Floyd and Grace were always generous and interested in supporting young people and their education. They funded a scholarship for graduating seniors who are members of our church. Thank you for being such great stewards of the resources that God blessed you with. Our family, including my three brothers and their families hold you in our prayers.Harold & Jo Ann Karl
