            HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF DR. EDDIE FLOYD

  (Mr. FRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FRY. Mr. Speaker, in rather sad news, I rise today to honor the 
life and legacy of Dr. Eddie Floyd of Florence, South Carolina.
  Dr. Floyd was a lifelong Gamecock, a respected physician, a pillar in 
his community, but more than his titles, he really embodied a life of 
service to others.
  From his decades caring for patients to his more than 40 years of 
leadership at the University of South Carolina, including serving as 
chairman of the board of trustees, Dr. Floyd believed in investing in 
people and in the future of our State.
  He loved his community. He loved his family. He loved his alma mater 
certainly, and he worked every day to make all of them stronger. He 
leaves behind a legacy of service, leadership, and kindness.
  Mr. Speaker, my prayers are with the Floyd family and with everyone 
who had the privilege of knowing him. South Carolina is a better place 
because of his service.
