Floyd was my good friend when growing up, use to ride bmx's together, go cruising in his car to the mall allot, and went to Andress together, he was such a jokester and made me laugh to cheer me up, the last time we saw each other was at the 2nd annual Andress High car show, we hugged each other and talked about old times, I will miss him dearly, he had a big heart, and may God be with you and your family, if you need anything please let me know..
