I first saw Floyd at the Navy game in 1966.  My friends took me to that game a week or two ahead of my induction into the Army.  Floyd was impressive to say the least.

The next time I saw him was when we met at a Ronald McDonald House charitable golf tournament in Albany.  The following week he was retiring from his job at SU and flying out to join his family.  We talked at great length about that game.  He gave accolades to the Navy team and credited his teammates for his success at SU and Denver without once shifting the limelight to himself.  He attended that event with other pro football "Hall of Famers."  They volunteer to go to these events to help the charity raise the money it takes to help others.

After our introduction and conversation he sat down at our table for dinner and he continued to amaze all of us with his stories.

Floyd was a true gentleman, and a gracious and inspirational human being.  He was a great ambassador for SU, the Denver Broncos and professional football.  I was fortunate enough to meet him and consider that an honor.

My condolences to his family and to all those who loved him.  He led a great life and will surely be missed, but his accomplishments will always be remembered.  What the world has lost Heaven has gained.  Rest in peace Floyd Little.  You deserve it.
