Floyd ... our BUBBA was a very special cowboy indeed ... he had a way about him when you met him you automatically had an instant relationship with him he made everybody feel very special and unique he was truly one of a kind ! He had a massive impact on my life ... I am the cowgirl I am today thanks to him !!! He taught me the meaning of cowgirl at a very young age ... I have him to thank for my Work ethic and determination ! I'm so thankful my granddaughter got to meet him however she won't grow up knowing him personally but she will know him by the stories we tell and the lessons we pass on as children of his life that he directly affected in a very positive way ! He will be extremely missed and his legacy will live on in each of us .... I can't imagine the amount of animals that met him at the pearly gates !!! My favorite uncle forever !!!!
He was so much more than an uncle to me. He was my only father figure for a long time. He was my world. He was my boss. He would encourage me and taught me so much. I kept thinking that I had plenty of time to reconnect and life got in the way. I still can't believe they are both gone. But I know that both he and Aunt Gaye are watching over me every day and I am beyond thankful for that. I love you Boss. Love always, Mary Beth
