Floyd was a very special person. He was the kind of guy who would give the shirt off his back to a stranger. I was privileged to work with him for many years at Cummins. He was a talented programmer who gladly shared tips and tricks with younger, less experienced co-workers. He always had a smile on his face and an infectious laugh, you couldn't help but be happy when you were working with Floyd. He was genuinely one of the nicest people I have ever known. I just wanted his family to know that he was much loved by his "family" at Cummins too. May you find comfort in your memories of him.
