I am ministered to by Floyd's mature presence and listening ear, which enables me to honestly speak out what I'm experiencing in my soul. (Daniel Komori, Associate Director, Journey Canada) Floyd enjoys walking with his wife Joyce, reading, singing with his guitar, and sharing God’s love. He has 3 married sons and 13 grandchildren.
