Floyd - No More

Dear Twinning Members and Supporters

I was looking for our Floyd this morning,  ( far right) as we need his involvement for the ANC celebration tomorrow.

Learnt  from his colleagues and confirmed with HCM that he passed away on 11 Oct 2011. I am in a state of shock and all old twinning members that knew him so well will also be very, very sad.

 He was a delegate with Kays delegation in 1996 , together with Dudu and Bonny. He is one of the biggest success stories in twinning.He was a street child. When we started the street shelter, he progressed to be the Child Care worker We empowered him ,as Twinning . His trip to Sweden was the highlight of his life until his death.He then progressed to be employed in the Maintenance section at the municipality until his death.

 He would be  " dirty - from the trucks" that did not bother him or us . We would get the biggest Swedish hug

HIS STORY MUST BE WRITTEN, WE HAVE TO PAY THIS TRIBUTE.

Saddest news,  for this year.

Dear friends.
I´m sad to learn that Floyd is no longer among us.Remember so well when he came to Oskarshamn.
Calm, did not speak to much in the beginning. One of the first days we went to Kalmar and a dance performance.Years later we met again when i was down and Floyd and i started a dance, inspired of what we learned years ago.

Only a few understood what was happening.We also met Floyd in his work down at the street children's shelter.Dedicated and all respected him.Later i met him at a church in Gamalakhe and we spoke about life and family.A gentle man, a fine person with a lot of love for others.I do hope you will visit his family and when you do that, please tell them that we will never forget Floyd.

Our deepest thoughts to his family and friends.
May he rest in peace.
