Floyd also served his community in many ways. He has been an active member of the St. Bernard Arabi Kiwanis Club for the last 31 years, where he served as both a board member and president in 1995.  He was also the recipient of the Kiwanis Legion of Honor Award in 2014 and 2019.  In 1995, Floyd was the recipient of the St. Bernard Business and Professional Women’s Club “Man of the Year” award.   Floyd was a thoughtful, compassionate, and caring person. Anyone that knew him would say he was someone they enjoyed being with. He was funny and always had a smile on his face.  Floyd never met a stranger and was a friend to all who knew him. He will truly be missed.
