Uncle Floyd was a soft spoken, hard working, and respectful man.
He was a great husband, father, and family man.
He and Jackie spent lots of time with my parents gifting them many fruits and vegetables Floyd grew. They were not only family but great friends.
Patsy and Verna you’ll obviously miss your dad but remember how blessed you were to have such a great dad.
He’s rejoicing now with Jackie, Vincent, Wanda and other loved ones.
God bless you 🙏🙏
Love, Pam and Arnold Dean
