He will be missed. Our prayers go out to his wife and family and to his brother Billy.
Floyd and his wife are two of the nicest people you could ever meet. Patricia and I have been to their home and broke bread with them.
Floyd was a very talented man and a great artist and writer.
One thing you would notice in meeting Floyd is he had the Lord is in his heart
Miss ya Pal
Danny and Patricia
