Floyd served in the Army for 3 years and went on to Texas  A&M University where he graduated in 1959. 

After graduation, Floyd taught for several years.  He was a counselor for Vocational Rehabilitation with the Texas State Commissioner for the Blind. He served the City of Hearne for many years.  He started with the city as the city comptroller and then became the City Manager in 1989.  Once he retired from the city, he started his own tax company, Statewide Business and Tax Services,  and worked as an accountant with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

He found joy in helping others. He was a member of many civic organizations, including the Lions Club and the Rotary Club.

Floyd loved animals of all kinds. Floyd and Jean were active Yorkshire terrier breeders. In the past, he also housed birds, bees and even a turtle. 

Floyd loved history.  He enjoyed the documentation of history and often wrote down his memories and usually was known to have a camera out to take a picture (or 30) of the occasion.

The family would like to thank Amedisys Hospice and Helping Hands Personal Care Home for their care that made Floyd’s final days comfortable.

The family asks that you donate to Amedisys Hospice Services.
