Floyd L. Springer

Floyd L. Springer, 91, of Kenmore, died Monday, January 20, 2014. He was born February 1, 1922 in Goodrich, North Dakota, the son of the late Roy and Louise (Baumbach) Springer. He had many happy memories of growing up in Jamestown, North Dakota, before joining the Army during WWII. He served as a corporal in the South Pacific and was awarded the Silver Star for valor. He carried memories of good friends from his Army days with him always. After the Army, Floyd attended architecture school at the University of Colorado. While in Denver, Floyd met and married the love of his life, Dorothy Shepard Gordon, on November 23, 1950. In 1951 he and his family moved to Washington, first Yakima, where his parents had settled, then on to Seattle where he worked in several architecture firms before opening his own office in Kenmore. He was a member of Lake Forest Park Presbyterian Church and was always ready to talk about religion and philosophy. Floyd enjoyed ballroom dancing and big band music. Writing about the family history, poetry and letters to express his thoughts were favorite hobbies. His passion for architecture often charted the path of family vacations. Floyd is survived by children, Tami Palmer and husband Joel, Greg Gordon and wife Dina and Bruce Gordon and wife Joy; eight grandchildren; four great-grandchildren and a sister, Patty Springer. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Dorothy, his daughter Debra Springer Winter, and his brother Tim Springer.
