y. Over the years in the antique business Floyd mentored a number of Longmont area residents in the fine art of antique repairs and refinishing.
In the 1980's Floyd started Professional Estate Services selling homes, personal estates and private collections in the front range area. One of his proudest accomplishments was the sale of the "gingerbread house" in Boulder, Colorado at auction.
In the early 1990's Floyd built Lyons Country Village an antique store and mall in Lyons, Colorado.
In the late 1990's Floyd and Carolyn moved to Mead, Colorado where Floyd started driving a school bus for the St. Vrain Valley School District. This was one of his favorite careers along the way as he always enjoyed telling stories about the wonderful kids on his routes.
In the early 2000's Floyd and Carolyn built a cabin overlooking Ramona Lake in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado where they enjoyed spending many weekends and holidays with family and friends.
After retirement in the mid 2000's, Floyd and Carolyn moved to a retirement community in Broomfield, Colorado where Floyd returned to his love of woodworking, scroll sawing clocks and other items.
Floyd's philosophy was treat everyone equally and you can't succeed if you don't try. Floyd will be greatly missed by his friends and family.
Floyd is survived by his wife Carolyn, son Larry and wife Renee Edmonds of Florida, daughter Debra and husband Derrel Taylor of Texas, sister Velda Lambert of Lincoln, Nebraska and brother Jim and wife Barbara Edmonds of Colorado Springs, and several nieces and nephews.
Floyd was preceded in death by his parents Harold and Ona Edmonds.
