Floyd Cole

Born: December 14, 1922     Passed: December 13, 1987

   

Floyd Cole was born December 14, 1922 in Roe Arkansas.  He passed on December 13, 1987 in Detroit Michigan.  Floyd lived in Arkansas until 1948 when he moved to Detroit to join his brothers who had come North to find work.  Floyd was a loving and devoted son, husband, and father of 11 children.  It was hard from him to leave his Mother in Arkansas, being the youngest of 11 children.  Floyd worked for Chrysler Corp. for many years until he retired.  Although he did not finish school, he always valued education and wanted his children to attend college.  Floyd also valued his family and was extremely proud of the  Cole Hampton Lee family reunions.  I know he is smiling down on us each time our family unites for a reunion. Floyd and his brother Kirk (Jabbo) were Deacons of Mayflower Baptist Church.
