Red River Valley Amateur Radio Club
Amateur Radio in and around the Red River Valley Area of Northeast Texas
All,
I never met Roy Floyd, he was already pretty much a celebrity by the time Kathy and I moved up here 27 years ago. But I heard his name, all the time, so when I saw the headline that he had passed I was sad for the community. These media reports Bonham mourns loss of Roy Floyd (October 31, 2025) and Remembering Roy Floyd: Family shares memories, legacy left behind by long-time Bonham mayor (November 3, 2025), informing me that he was involved locally for 40 years, including 22 years as mayor of Bonham; you rarely see that kind of commitment these days.
