People stood in line all night for hugs and photos. Floyd's known these guys since they were babies.

Her granddaughter Amanda Seals spoke on her behalf tonight. ‘Dementia has set in, and she doesn’t see well anymore, but she still knows Floyd.’ ”
— Jennifer Brett May 22, 2019 And:"Kids on his route love, love, L-O-V-E Mr. Floyd. Little Mae Bullington dressed up as Mr. Floyd on the day her school had career day. ‘I was so flattered,’ he said. ‘It touched my heart.’" “I’m a journalist and a resident of my little town,” Brett said. “I had no idea when I tweeted about it that it would go bonkers.”
Here's a short clip of Floyd next to one of the mailboxes decorated in his honor. He could have taken an easier job at the post office over the years but didn't. "I could have left them a long time ago but I wouldn't, because I love them." pic.twitter.com/SOaIf3wBYr
