Floyd Rise; Husband, Dad and Grandpa; walked on from this life on Thursday morning, November 21 with his family gathered around him. Everyone got a chance to say they loved him and goodbye before he left.

He was born and grew up on the family ranch near Molson, the middle child of Ole and Jessie Rise. He attended school in Oroville, graduating high school in 1952. The Army inducted him shortly afterwards and he did his term of service in Europe. He later married Patricia Moser and during 64 years of marriage, they brought up David, Julie and Deanna. Later he also became Dad to David's wife Donna.

He is survived by his wife Pat, son David and his wife Donna and their daughter Michelle, daughter Julie and her daughter Jessica, daughter Deanna, and sister Joanne.

He worked hard his whole life and now he can rest. We miss him a lot.

We are honoring his request for no service. Memorials can be made to the Molson Museum: Joanne Gallagher, Treasurer, P.O. Box 849, Oroville, WA 98844. Many thanks to North Valley Hospital for the care they provided.
