He especially enjoyed spending time with his grandkids, which he loved dearly.

Floyd leaves behind his wife, Linda, of Poplar Bluff; three sons, David (Loretta) Smith, of San Antonio, Texas, Floyd Allen (Kristina) Smith of Pensacola, Florida, and Steve Smith of Poplar Bluff; two brothers, Lloyd and Jonia Smith of Dexter, Missouri; as well as six grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
