Floyd was a member of the Iowa and American Dental associations and Elmcrest Country Club in Cedar Rapids. Floyd served in the Navy as a Pharmacist Mate during World War II, or as he referred to it, "bedpan patrol." He enjoyed golf, fishing and almost any outdoor activity, except gardening. In the last year of his life he had the pleasure to enjoy the success of his beloved Hawkeyes in football and basketball.

He was deeply devoted to his wife and children. Although he didn't necessarily agree with them all the time, they all felt his love. He will be missed.
