I am so sorry to hear from Joan Galloway that Floyd passed away. I have many memories of him as my "older brother" as we grew up at McKinley. I do rejoice in the fact that he is now with his Lord and Saviour and we will all be together some of these days. My love to my "other family" and I pray for comfort at this hard time.
