Floyd M Percival It is with a tremendous amount of sorrow we announce the passing of friend and fellow Branch 13 and 158 EDGETA member as a result of a heart attack on Saturday February 13, 2010. Floyd was born December 22, 1926, in Shawnee, Oklahoma. His family moved to California in 1938. He worked on various ranches in the Esparto area and at age 33, moved to Woodland, California. Here he met and formed lifelong friend Cliff Hardy, a charter member of Branch 13 EDGETA. As their friendship grew, Floyd became interested in old engines and tractors. In 1972, Floyd joined Branch 13. Floyd has been an active EDGETA member for 38 years, serving as President of Branch 13 for three years in the late 1970’s. He also belonged to W.H.E.A.T., the John Deere Two-Cylinder Club, EDGETA branches 158, 13 and 9, and was an active member of the Eagles Lodge #2385 in Woodland. Floyd spent many years restoring and showing equipment from his large and diverse collection. He was always the first one to offer help, whether for another member or for the good of the entire club. Floyd loved to brag that he headed up four generations of Percivals who participated in EDGETA events. Floyd lost his wife Augie on April 11, 2008. The funeral will be held on Friday, Feb. 19, 2010, at 10 am at McNary's Chapel, 458 College St., Woodland. There will also be a viewing from 5 to 8 pm on Thursday. Interment at Monument Hill Cemetery, 25036 County Road 22, Woodland, . After the interment, all are invited to a celebration of Floyd's life to be held at the Heidrick Ag History Center, 1962 Hays Ln, Woodland, Ca. Friends are asked to bring hot dishes, salads and desserts. Floyd wanted to be transported to the cemetery by tractor and to have as many of his friends as possible follow on their own tractors. We would like to ask those of you who can bring your tractors to join us in the funeral procession. McNary's is located at the corner of Lincoln and College Streets and there is a parking lot at the Boy Scout cabin across College where we can assemble before the funeral. Immediately following the funeral service, we will form the procession to the cemetery. To avoid having to drive your tractor all the way back to McNary's, you may want to shuttle your truck and trailer to the cemetery before the services.
