Photos of Great Uncle Floyd

Aside from my great uncle Bob Lauritsen, I have another World War II Marine in my family on my paternal grandfather's side.  His name was Floyd Avery Krelle.  He was born in Omaha, Nebraska on August 4, 1923 and died in Boulder, Colorado on May 24, 2005.  I have a handful of original photos of him in his Marine uniform from a family photo album, but that's about it.  I really don't know anything about him or anything about his service during the war.  So I am sharing what little I have here because he looks like he was a pretty swell guy.  If anyone has any information about Floyd A. Krelle, please contact me.
