He fought the cancer for several months often times amazing the doctors by how well he was doing. After a long battle he finally succumbed to an infection on April 29th, 2008 at Saint Lukes Presbyterian Hospital. Floyd was a very kind and big-hearted person. Throughout his life, to the very end, he was helping people out. Whether it was a meal, money, a place to stay or a job he was always there to help. He gave everyone the benefit of the doubt, and never judged people by their race, appearance or actions. He was the first person to give someone a second, third even fourth chance. He was the ROCK for many people and will be dearly missed by everyone. For a man working in a junkyard, one of his favorite things were flowers. He had a knack for landscaping and making the ugly beautiful, like his heart. He loved to cook, not in a kitchen but outside on some of the strangest grills you have ever seen. We have had some amazing junkyard barbeques where he originated the junkyard burger, which will never be duplicated. Reading was another passion of his to help him unwind at night. He loved small children and animals. All of us who knew him have to smile and laugh at the dogs, cats, geese, birds, raccoon, Billy goat and peacock that he brought home to his wife.
