Dear Francis and family: I am so very sorry to learn of Floyd’s passing. He and I have been good friends since high school days and I have always held him in very high esteem. Floyd’s unique ability to take charge and brind order to difficult situations and his willingness to be helpful and organized under stress has made him ideally suited to his profession in lawy enforcement.
