Floyd was born, the youngest child, to Seranus and Blendina Martin of Floradale. He had nine brothers & sisters; Lena, Elmer, Ida, Naomi, Willard, Valina, Lucinda, Viola and Carl "Bush" Bushert (all predeceased)
Butch -- as he was known to all; married Ethleen "Pee Wee" Gerber (predeceased) on June 23, 1951 and they had one daughter, Kelly Marie (Cliff) Martin. Butch was the Proud Poppa to his twin grandchildren, who he raised like his own, Paul (Rebecca) and Kristie Martin. Great-Poppa to Annabelle, Myles, Leviathan, and Madison. Butch leaves behind Connie Klassen (wife), as well as many nieces, nephews, friends, golf buddies and teammates.
Whether you played golf, hockey, baseball or he sold you your first new car; Butch did it with passion & integrity. His morals and values were a steady constant, which guided him throughout his life.
