Floyd was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan on April 10, 1938. He was a dedicated member of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church as well as being an active member in the Jaycee's for many years. As a young man he worked with his father, Joseph Cochran in the construction industry. He went on to become the District Manager of Engineered Homes Ltd in Prince Albert and surrounding areas. He was a very significant part in the development of the Crescent Heights area in Prince Albert, and to this day the neighbourhood continues to be a wonderful community. A quote Floyd lived by:" Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail". In the spring of 1968 he moved his family west to Langley, B.C to begin a new adventure. Floyd was a very successful businessman who also spent a great deal of time giving back to his community. Floyd had a great sense of adventure and along with Doreen and their family travelled to many places in the world. Floyd's greatest joy in life was his incredible love for his family and never missed an opportunity to express his appreciation for such a wonderful life. He was a beloved mentor and confidante who will forever be remembered for his infectious laughter and incredible generosity. He was a man of great stature and unwavering loyalty to all who knew him. Floyd was greatly loved and will be dearly missed.
