Jan. 5, 2019 Floyd B. Hewitt Floyd B. Hewitt, age 84, went to be with his Lord late on the evening of December 31, 2018 at Thornapple Manor in Hastings where he resided for the past several years. Floyd was born in Clarksville, on July 24, 1934 the son of O. C. and Anna (Case) Hewitt, who preceded him in death. Brothers Melvin, Russell, and Marvin also preceded him in death. Brother Bernie (Ailene) Hewitt survives. Also surviving are his wife, Marian; son, Mark (Jill) Hewitt; daughter, Carol (Ray) Allore; grandchildren, Tim (Shelly) Ellen, Matt, Carter, and Rachael. Floyd also had one great-grandaughter, Autumn. Floyd was also very close to his three step-daughters, Susan (Deceased) Sheryl and Sharon and step-son Stuart. Floyd served in the U.S. Army from 1957-58. He worked at the Medical Facility (Thornapple Manor) for several years before going to the Lake Odessa High School to work as their custodian where he spent most of his working years. His last few years, before retirement, were spent at the Clarksville Elementary school where the students loved him and called him Mr. Floyd. Floyd loved antique furniture and enjoyed refinishing it. He enjoyed fishing, working in his garden, his flowers, watching the birds, and doing anything outside. He was alway busy doing something, and all you would have to do is follow the sound of his whistle to find him. Floyd's sweet, quiet spirit will be missed by all who knew him. Visitation will be at Green Street Church/United Methodist Church, 209 W. Green St., Hastings fro 10 to 11 a.m. on Monday Jan. 7, 2019, with a funeral service to follow at 11 a.m. A luncheon will follow the service. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Thornapple Manor in memory of Floyd Hewitt. Arrangements by Girrbach Funeral Home in Hastings.
