As a neighbor of Floyd's for over 12 years, I can say I never heard him say a cross word about anyone. What a joy it was when Floyd would stop to chat and give a kind word and positive encouragement for my project of the day. They don't make them like Floyd anymore. His smile and kindness is missed.

Floyd was a great neighbor. He always stopped to say hi and see what we were up to. We will surely miss him. We always loved hearing about where he was going for dinner. Our thoughts and prayers are with all his family and friends. He was such a sweet man.
