Loyle Flo, age 67 of Ath, Belgium died October 29, 2012 at AnBroese Tare Hospital in Mons, Belgium. He was a loving husband, an amazing father, and caring son and brother.
Funeral services for Loyle were held in Ath, Belgium on November 3, 2012 with full military honors. He died of pneumonia followed by a massive heart attack.
Loyle was born on July 3, 1945 to Marlin "Nig" and Mavis (Rygh) Flo in Albert Lea. He was baptized and confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church in Bricelyn, MN and graduated from Thompson High School in 1963 before attending Mankato State University. In 1965 he enlisted in the Army and served his country for 22 years, with an honorable discharge. During his time of service, he was shot and wounded in Vietnam and spent several weeks in Great Lakes Military Hospital in Chicago. After retirement from the military, he was employed by the Stars and Stripes military newspaper for 10 years.
He was an avid fan of all sports, especially the Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Vikings, hardly missing a game and knowing all of the player's stats. He enjoyed watching TV, old movies, and crossword puzzles.
