Floyd and his love of life is so beautifully represented in the obituary. He was definitely a gifted and talented man, but one attribute is missing from the obituary---a warm and hospitable friend and neighbor. We will surely miss him, his laughter and the good times we shared.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love, Ken and Karen Holt

My deepest condolences to you and your family, Tanner. Floyd was a really great guy to know. I first met him at his store with my Hugo chainsaw blades for sharpening. I since knew him through Brad and Freddie Smith and thought the world of him. He always smiled with a large smile and never complained. God Bless him and your family for your loss.
