In 1961, Floyd was united in marriage to Della Irving. They were blessed with four children: Dana, Philip, Eric and Karen. He was from a large, close knit family and family was very important to him. He was never happier than when his children and grandchildren were all gathered around him.
Floyd enjoyed fishing, hunting deer, and coon hunting with his friend, Bob McDonald. He always put in a garden and could be seen in the tomato patch with a salt shaker. He liked playing checkers with his grandchildren and riding through Red Haw was a favorite thing. New Year’s Eve always meant an evening of Bingo with all the family. Floyd always insisted on calling the numbers. He was a very loving Husband, Father, and Grandfather.
