Description
Summary:His passion was advocating for the rights of people who were blind/disadvantaged. He was a long-time devoted member of the American Council of the Blind. [Glen] served as president of ACB's Old Dominion Council of the Blind and Visually Impaired and of the local Richmond chapter. He received many prestigious awards and accolades, and was the recipient of a letter from Gov. L. Douglas Wilder of Virginia, commending him for outstanding services rendered. We thank Loretta Lynn Michaud and Jackie Higgins, caretakers for Glen during his final illness. Loretta Lynn said, "Mr. Floyd was a wonderful person." She told us that his last words were, "It's OK. I see my mama."
