Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
A man whose life following World War II was devoted to helping other veterans
and their families, Oakland County Veterans Affairs Director Floyd E. Cremer, passed
away on May 27, 1964, at the age of 49 at his home, 1249 Featherstone, Pontiac,
Michigan.
Floyd Cremer served as Veterans Affairs Director of the County from 1960 until
his death. As Director he saw that veterans received proper medical attention and fitting
burials when necessary. He saw that their surviving families were provided for.
An Air Force gunner, Cremer was badly wounded in the European Theater. From
then on, helping other veterans and their survivors became his life's work.
Cremer made frequent trips to Washington, 1:1) C., on behalf of veterans where
new legislation and changing policies were concerned.
Cremer was past commander of Cook-Nelson American Legion Post and present
commander of Disabled American Veterans, Pontiac Memorial Chapter No. 101.
He also was commander of the County Council of Veterans, legislative chairman
of the Michigan Association of Veterans Counselors, agent for the Michigan Veterans
Trust Fund and a member of Jimmy Dey Amvets Post 12 and Bemis Olsen Post 113.
The Pontiac Memorial Day Association was formed in 1956 by Floyd Cremer.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I move that the foregoing memorial be spread upon the minutes
of the Board of Supervisors and that the County Clerk be instructed to forward a certified
copy thereof to his surviving wife.
