Floyd Edwin Pfaffle was born September 24, 1941, in Le Mars, Iowa, the son of Earl and Edna (Knight) Pfaffle. He grew up on the family farm northeast of Kingsley. Floyd was baptized and confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church in rural Marcus. He attended Henry Township Country School until 7th grade and graduated from Kingsley High School in 1959. While in high school, he was a three-sport athlete and also shared his musical talents by participating in band and choir.

Floyd was united in marriage to Joyce Noble on May 28, 1961, at First Lutheran Church in Kingsley, Iowa. To this union two sons were born, Todd and Steve.

Floyd was an avid Hawkeye fan and one of his dreams was to take his sons and grandsons to the Big 10 basketball tournament in Indianapolis. The five Pfaffle men accomplished this in 2015. Floyd enjoyed watching his sons and grandchildren’s sporting and musical events. During harvest, Joyce was always amazed at how Floyd could shut down the combine at noon on Fridays so he could make the kick-off of his grandsons’ football games four hours away.

Dogs have always played an important role in Floyd’s life. No dog was more special than Nike who saved Floyd’s life in a farm accident in 1992.

Floyd and Joyce have enjoyed their travels to Green Valley, Arizona, for the last ten years. Floyd loved the warmth of the Arizona sun.

Grateful to share his life for nearly 60 years are his wife, Joyce, also sons Todd (Jacque) of Red Oak, IA and Steve (Jeannie) of New Hampton, IA, and grandchildren Brianne (Jon) Stevens, Lindsey (Brenton) Culp, Lexi (Cory) Schmidt, Koltin Pfaffle, Kameron Pfaffle, and Kassidy Pfaffle, and great-grandchildren Katelyn and Jonny Stevens, Bradley and Cooper Culp, and Blaire Schmidt. Also surviving is one sister-in-law, Janice Pfaffle, several nieces and nephews, and close friends, Ronnie Ohlendorf and Marty Hanson.

Floyd was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Edna Pfaffle, brother, Wayne Pfaffle, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Marlin and Gale Noble, nephews Kevin Pfaffle and David Noble, and niece Beth Noble.

Howard Wayne Holstein was born March 8, 1920 to Henry and Stella (Pfaffle) Holstein in Chamberlain, SD. The family lived on a farm east of Chamberlain. He attended the Haley Country School at rural Pukwana through the 8th grade. Together with his brother Loren they ranched with their father east of Chamberlain. In February 1942, his father Henry passed away and Howard and Loren then took over the family ranch where they raised registered Hereford cattle. In April 1992, Loren passed away and Howard continued to ranch until retiring around 2005. He continued to live on the ranch until his health caused him to enter the Good Samaritan Center in Corsica in 2010. He was a member of the Zion Lutheran Church and served in different capacities in the church for many years. Howard’s passion was his cattle, spending many hours in the pastures.

Howard passed away on June 12, 2012 at the Good Samaritan Center in Corsica, SD at the age of 92 years. Gratefully sharing in his life are his sister Peggy Jacobson of Rye, NY; and many nieces and nephews.
