The Tehachapi News 
Floyd Lee Seymour

Aug. 27, 1933 – Nov. 10, 2005

A funeral service was held on Wednesday, Nov. 16, at the Tehachapi Church of 
Christ for Floyd Lee Seymour, 72, who passed away on Nov. 10 in a Bakersfield 
hospital after a valiant battle with cancer.

Floyd was born in Ringold, Okla., on Aug. 27, 1933 to parents Walter and Senia 
Seymour. He arrived in Tehachapi shortly after the 1952 earthquake and 
immediately began work as a first-class welding repairman at the Monolith 
Cement Plant, now the Lehigh Southwest Cement Company. Floyd became the oldest 
and longest employed person at the cement company. To note his significant 
employment accomplishments after 50 years of employment, the plant’s 
maintenance building was officially dedicated as the Seymour Building.

Floyd’s career was interrupted briefly when he was drafted into the U.S. Army 
at the end of the Korean War. In 1969, Floyd married Betty Lawrence. Shortly 
thereafter, in 1975, they began their own company, Tehachapi Towing, with one 
truck. They now have 16 trucks in operation. 

Floyd is survived by his wife of 36 years, Betty Seymour of Tehachapi; sons, 
Glen Covert and his wife Becky of Bakersfield; Lloyd Marvin Rolin and his wife 
Melissa; Larry Rolin and his wife Lisa; and Leon Seymour and his wife Nanette, 
all of Tehachapi; daughter, Michelle Rolin Sainz and her husband Danny of 
Hanford; grandchildren, Sara, Andrew, Anthony, Zachary, Justin, Amanda Jo, 
Brittany, Eric, Savannah, Shelby, Tristin, Kaylynn, Charlie Joe and Hannah 
Lee; great-grandson, Nathan; and sister, Ellen Hammel of Rattan, Okla. Floyd 
was a loving husband, wonderful father, grandfather and dedicated employee. He 
was a man with many friends and he will be greatly missed by all who knew and 
loved him.

Pastor T.C. Robinson officiated at the service. Interment followed at the 
Tehachapi Public Cemetery, Eastside. Wood Family Funeral service handled the 
arrangements.
