I worked with Floyd for several years at HNTB. He was a wonderful person – patient, kind – always wore a great smile…and of course, his cowboy boots. God bless.

I knew Floyd since high school and our New Mexico State days. His obituary describes him well. He was a kind individual with a great sense of humor. You have been blessed if you knew him. Rest In Peace
