Tommy Floyd Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Tommy attended Mt. Vernon High School. He was a United States Air Force veteran. Tommy was a lifetime member of Local #374, where he worked as a traveling Union Boilermaker. He enjoyed tinkering with hot rods, building things with his welder and dancing, especially Zumba dancing. Tommy had a great sense of humor, and even in the throes of dementia could still crack a joke. He dearly loved all of his "babies" and they loved their "Pawpaw" to the moon.
He was preceded in death by his brothers, William T. Floyd and Ray "Duke" Floyd, Jr.; and sister, Carol Sue Rose.
He is survived by his daughters, Kelly Ortiz (Mark) and Tracy Leonard; sons, Gordon Nelson and Brian Cathcart (Kelly); six grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; sister, Helen Muth; close friend, Pam Working, her two daughters and her six grandchildren.
Private family services will be held at a later date.
