HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF DR. EDDIE FLOYD

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 15 (Thursday, January 22, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 15 (Thursday, January 22, 2026)] [House] [Page H1337] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] 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. ____________________
