Gil was a very special neighbor. It was always a highlight of our day to go outside and see Gil working in his garage and his yard. He was always kind to us and everytime he saw us he would greet you with a hello and a big smile. It was such an honor to have met and have a neighbor like Gilbert. He was not only our friend but we truly loved him like family. Condolences to the Floyd family. He will truly be missed.

Gil was a special person in our group of friends. His humor was contagious! We miss the group getting together as it did a couple of years back. But as we age and our health issues become more egregious we don't get to see each other as much. Paula and I will miss you Gil and our sincere condolences are extended to Gini!! Rest in peace, my Friend!!!

We are so sad about Gil's passing. He was a wonderful friend and neighbor. We always admired his beautiful plants, flowers and garden. We never saw Gil without a friendly smile on his face. He will be missed.
