... CULLER JR., president of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) from 1978 to 1988, and deputy director at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)
From page 54...
... Active in the community, he chaired the Oak Ridge Regional Planning Commission, which was responsible for the alphabetical naming of the city's streets and helped govern the community before it was incorporated as "a civilian town," after its special wartime role in the development of the atom bomb. Friends and colleagues enjoyed teasing Floyd about his talkative nature.
From page 55...
... is too marvelous an opportunity to work essentially with the same kind of people, the same spread of thought, with the same scope of R&D, and to do something very important in the energy business." "All those who have known him and have worked with him testify to his warmth, his availability and human concern, his honesty, and his deep integrity as a person," the EPRI Journal wrote in the 1978 article introducing Floyd as the institute's new president. "What one hears is that he is not only deeply respected but also loved by his colleagues." Floyd described his management style as "a very personal one…based on a mutual bond of personal respect, in which we know one another's strengths and weaknesses and can relate without being critical of one another, only of the things with which we are dealing.
From page 56...
... Floyd was survived by his son Floyd Culler III and daughterin-law Kirsten Culler, Irvine, California; granddaughters Amanda, Meredith, and Grace Culler, also of Irvine; sister Doris Summers, Frederick, Maryland; and brother Carl Culler, Fort Myers, Florida.
