I FIRST MET FLOYD WHILE WORKING IN THE COAL MINES. HE ALWAYS WAS FAIR TO ME AND TREATED ME WITH RESPECT. I ENJOYED LISTENING TO THE MANY STORIES HE HAD TO TELL. LATER ON I MET HIM IN MY OFFICE. AGAIN, HE WAS VERY NICE TO ME AND TREATED ALL OF US WITH RESPECT. FLOYD WAS A VERY HARD WORKER.

Condolences from Barry and Lisa Giles. Uncle Floyd was a great charector of a man. Shared many a laugh in his home with aunt Jerri as a kid in the 1960s. Floyde was the last of the Castleman brothers and his Giles step brothers.
God's blessings on the Castleman family.
Barry and Lisa Giles.
