Life-long Michigan resident Harold “Floyd” Law passed away on September 24, 2018 at the age of 95. He was born in Highland Park to his parents John and Clara Law in 1922. Mr. Law was the doting husband of Gladys over their 67 years of marriage. He graduated from Hazel Park High School and attended Lawrence Technological University in their chemical engineering program before joining the Marines. During World War II he was a B-25 (PBJ Mitchell) Bomber Pilot in the South Pacific and was recalled to service during the Korean conflict. When he returned home, he worked in inventory control for American Standard for 35 years, eventually leaving to work for Tube-Fab, located in Afton, Michigan working alongside his brother and cousin. Floyd was the definition of devotion to his country and his family. His proud military service and his dedication to his wife during her extended illness was a model for all. Floyd deeply loved his six grandsons and enjoyed attending all activities they were involved in. He was also known to be an avid sports fan of Michigan teams, especially the Tigers and all things baseball. Mr. Law has sports memorabilia from his childhood displayed in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
