Floyd was known for being an avid car lover and owner. He was one of the proudest Marines you could ever have met. His family was his life, especially his grand and great-grandchildren.
To be around our daddy was to love him. He had the kindest heart and would give anyone the shirt off his back or an ear if you needed one.
We love you daddy you will be missed BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!
