Floyd Vanlandingham, Falmouth councilman

He also was a 25-year veteran of the Merchant Marines, a career that enabled him to travel around the world and, in Italy, meet the woman who became his wife for 46 years.
Mr. Vanlandingham served two terms on Falmouth City Council and was active in the Pendleton County Football Boosters. He helped raise money for uniforms for young football players and, when teams didn't have a place to practice, he let them practice on his land.

"He was a kind and good-hearted man, " said Mr. Vanlandingham's wife, Raimonda.
