Floyd, known better to your cousins as Sonny. Memories of our childhood have always been a pleasant place in the back of my mind. Spending the summer of my 15th year with your family in Bethany. Sadly our lives went in different directions and we seldom saw each other but I looked forward to our rare visits and will miss you deeply.

Condolences to your wife Margie.

Floyd was a great guy and a pleasure to work with at WalMart. He always had a joke or kind word for everyone who passed by him. He will be missed by fellow workers and customers who got to know him and his friendly ways. My sympathy to his family.
