Floyd was a special man, and even through years ago, have talked about him many times in my life as a man that you could always depend on, or if you needed help, he was always there. My Dad, Rev. Harry Russell, always said Floyd was a man God loved and blessed. I am sure they are rejoicing together today in all our Father's house. May God grant all of the family a special comfort and knowledge of God's gift to all of us of knowing Floyd.

We understand how hard it is to let a loved one go even when we know we will be reunited with them. You are in our prayers for God's comfort and peace. God bless you all.

Praying for you, my Friends. I know that the Lord will be with you and continue to give you peace and grace through this difficult time. I remember when my mom first came to stay with me for the summer; she was about 80 years old and had never flown before, but the highlight of the trip was the fun of being wheeled around the DSM airport by Floyd!
He was a blessing to all who knew him, but we rejoice with you in knowing he is in heaven with our dear Savior - no more suffering or pain, only the joy of being with the Lord!

I remember when I was young and the Dares lived on the East side. Floyd was always a hard working man. Whenever we stopped by their house he was working on something. We went to Church at the Four Square back then. He was a good friend of my dad, John Collins. They were friends at work and church with; Art Riddle, Eli Tully, Don Dar, Bob Cain, who I think have left us and so have gone to be with the Lord now; Bernard, Bud, Collins and Ivo Graeve who are still with us. Good role models for a boy to have patterned his life after.
