"Hack" was one of the best friends I will ever know is this lifetime. He helped me through some of my darkest days and taught me so much about everything he had learned throughout his lifetime. We accomplished countless projects together. Whether it was restoring an old piece of furniture or building something from scratch...every moment was a blessing to me. He will always hold a piece of my heart.
I thank his family for sharing him with me and entrusting me with his care when their busy lives wouldn't allow them to be present. He will be missed by all who knew him. He was one of a kind!

I'd actually been thinking about Floyd recently. In every respect a fine, fine gentleman. I can't say I've known a better man. His kindness and generosity to his family and friends knew few boundaries. He was a neighbor, but also a leading father of the YMCA Indian Guides tribe of which I was a member. When we Pomo braves went on our first camping trip he appeared with two real teepees. Farewell Mr. Hacker. You set the bar so high. Peace and love Flo, David, Trevor & Kevin.

My sincere condolences to your family. May God "who comforts us in all our trials" (2 Cor 1:4) comfort you and your family at such a difficult time. I know God will help you to endure because he cares for you ( 1Peter 5 :7).
