Obituary for Floyd Bekoski
Floyd Bekoski, 73, who resided at the Wood Drive Home in Coldwater, passed away Wednesday, March 10, 2021 at ProMedica Coldwater Regional Hospital.
Floyd was born October 31, 1947 in Coldwater to Anthony and Eva Bekoski. Floyd has been a staple of the ADAPT family since starting with the Day Program Services in 1981. He moved into the Grant Street Home in 1987 and resided there until the home closed and he moved to Wood Drive in October of 2019. He seemed very happy there and built some great relationships with the staff and his housemates. He had a personality that made a positive impact on everyone he met. He was a great friend, very near and dear to many. He often called people names other than their own and he referred to his caregiver Joanna Wing as “Sally”. According to employees he had “Sally” wrapped around his finger. We also cannot remember Floyd without recognizing his friend Terry Laukhuf (supervisor of Grant Street). Terry worked with Floyd from the time he moved into the Grant Street Home until she retired last year.
One of Floyd’s greatest enjoyments was going to the store (usually Dollar General) to purchase greeting cards. He loved going on adventures and giving directions to the driver on how to get wherever they were going. He loved music, dancing, oatmeal and root beer. Some of his favorite songs were “If you’re happy and you know it” as well as “Uptown Funk”. Floyd’s favorite color was red and he loved to paint but ONLY with the color red!
A memorial service will be held at a later date. Arrangements are being cared for by Dutcher Funeral Home. www.dutcherfh.com.
