I knew Floyd for a long time he was a wonderful person and a good friend really miss him
I remember Floyd over his many years working at KU. He was never too busy to take a few moments to speak with you, he was always friendly and a friend. He will be missed.
I work with Floyd for many years with SkyWarn and CERT. He was wonderful, funny, committed, and felt strongly about community service. I am sorry to miss the Celebration of Life, I will be traveling. Rest in peace dear Floyd. Wishing the family peace as well and good memories to help your sorrow.
Thoughts and prayers -You are loved – You will be missed – Til we meet again !
Floyd loved the Lord first and then his family. May he rest in peace and enjoy being with his Lord and may the Lord comfort and bless all his family.
Keeping you in my prayers Angela. You were so amazing to your dad and I’m sure he’s so proud of you. He’ll always be in your heart! I’m here if you need anything.
Floyd was our CERT buddy. He was always a character and never failed to keep us entertained with his stories. Floyd will be missed by all the staff and volunteers at Douglas County Emergency Management. May you all know how much family meant to Floyd. He could light up a room when he talked about his family members and about all the experiences you all had together….in good times and in bad. Rest in peace, good friend!
