We were so sad to read of Floyd’s passing. Our thoughts are with you, Annette, and your family. So many wonderful memories of Floyd from the barn.
Floyd was a steady and important part of the Helm’s Barber Shop and Green Barn country music scenes. We all appreciated him for being who he was, always a friendly and loyal participant who loved to be part of the group of players. Wish I had known him in early years when he rode motorcycles and loved old cars. My best to all his family and friends who will miss him dearly.
Betty, Debbie and I were so sorry to hear of your dads passing, just want you to know, that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
