South Bend Tribune 3/27/2000

Floyd Lawrence Husvar, 47, of South Scott Street, South Bend, Ind., died of natural causes in his residence. On July 26, 1952, Floyd was born in South Bend to Rachel Walker and Donald Husvar who both preceded him in death. Mr. Husvar is survived by his sister, Cheryl (Keith) Speheger; his niece, Rachel Zanotti; and nephew, Matthew Donald, all of Granger, Ind.

Mr. Husvar graduated from Jackson High School in 1970 and attended Grand Rapids, Jr. College. Floyd worked with his father in the family business, "Don's Liquor Mart" on Ireland Road in South Bend. Later, Floyd sold cars at several area dealerships. Having an affinity for cars and a general affection for people, he enjoyed the automobile business. Floyd loved golf, especially long daily outings that included lunch, cards (euchre or cribbage), and lots of socializing. He also enjoyed music and taught himself to play the xylophone, guitar, drums and piano. Floyd played these instruments in what he referred to as "garage bands." Floyd really enjoyed food, dining out and cooking. He was especially proud of his "lobster ala FL" and his dinners could last well into the evening. His fondest memories would be of summers at Lake Michigan, where he vacationed with his family and friends. Floyd will be truly missed by all who knew him.

Friends may visit with the family from 4 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 28 at the Forest G. Hay Funeral Home, located at the corner of Jefferson and Ironwood. Floyd's memorial service will be at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 28 at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are asked to be sent to the Teacher's Credit Union, 110 S. Main St., South Bend, Ind., 46601. A fund has been established for Floyd's nephew, Matthew Donald Speheger to further the study and research of Down's Syndrome.
