May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of deep sorrow. Those who pass on, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. My sincerest condolences. (Psalms 116:15)

Floyd was a wonderful man. We got our real estate licenses at the same time...both came to a Realtor Association meeting in Halifax for the first time together. I will always remember his kind spirit!
