Rest In Peace Uncle Jim. Although we lived all over the country growing up, whenever we were in Decatur, dad and mom always made sure we got to your house to visit. Prayers and condolences to Aunt Cynthia, the boys and their families. ❤️
I will always remember Jim's special sense of humor. Whenever he would stop by to visit Cynthia and the rest of us at the St Marys Hospital Credit Union, we could always count on him for a chuckle and a laugh. Our condolences to Cynthia and the Floyd Family. Love-Kirk & Julie Myers
I look at this picture and I think Jim is going to try to b s me. He was always up to something and you better be careful because he is going to get you one way or another. Everyone that knew Jim down here in Texas said he was the 'nicest guy'.. That always ticked me off because they never says/said that about me. But I have to say, they are/were right. Rest Jim: I will see you later. Jack
Dear family,
I have so many wonderful memories of being with my Uncle Jim and the entire Floyd family. Growing up, a holiday was never complete without a trip to Uncle Jim and Aunt Cynthia's for a pitch in meal and LOADS of family. And Thanksgiving often included bounty from Uncle Jim's hunting season.
My favorite memory however, is when my Granda Ficker's health first started to fail. I drove down from Minnesota to spend some time with her and Uncle Jim and Aunt Cynthia welcomed me into their home. I loved spending time at the hospital with my grandmother but what I most enjoyed was being able to be in my Aunt and Uncle's home. I LOVED being the only family member there and that I got to have all of their attention :-). It was a joy to spend be with them in conversation and laughter AND I will forever LOVE jalapeños with spot of cream cheese... just enough to cool the burn.
My love goes to you all.
Sending love and prayers to you Cynthia and boys. So sad to hear of Jim’s passing. Mom and Dad will certainly miss him and the frequent nights out for supper! Rest In Peace
Cynthia (Hogan) Fitzgerald
Dearest Aunt Cynthia & family,
I cannot express enough my sadness and sympathy at this time of loss to you and your family. Also extended family & friends who's live's were enriched so deeply by knowing and loving such a GREAT man. He was truly a "One of a Kind".
The stories and memories I hold in mind and heart are, as I write, making me laugh and cry at the same time! I can't tell you how long my dad, Jerry, would take to tell a Uncle Jim story because he was laughing to hard to start the thing!!!! We waited in anticipation, and it was always worth it to eventually hear.
Childhood memories are my fondest when the cousins were together on Lake Ridge Ave. or in Harristown, and eventually Findlay, IL. Weather it was a puppy heist of a dog named "Lucky", sending me down the basement stairs in a box (OUCH"), dirt bike wrecks, or just being where we shouldn't be, doing all the stuff we shouldn't do..... Uncle Jim just shook his head and after a pause (The Floyd boys could pause ya know!) would just laugh his best laugh. I can hear that laugh in my head right now!! I so glad my dad laughs the same way!!
The distance we are enduring does not diminish where my heart is at this time of loss & sadness. I will remember my Uncle Jim with such admiration, respect and love to a life very well lived. I am truly lucky to have had him in my life.
With Love,
Christy (Floyd) Spellman & family
Dear Cynthia and family, I am so VERY sorry for your great loss. Just seems like the other day when we celebrated your birthday at the new moon cafe and Jim was giving advice about things to do to have a long marriage...I listened! The obituary was an awesome testimony. Much love Cynthia ♥️. Janet Edgecombe
