Floyd Earl Dingess Jr, 76, of McDonough went to be in the loving arms of Jesus Christ on January 3rd, 2022. While we are happy that he is now free from his earthly body but upset at the same time.

Floyd is survived by Lennie Dingess, his beautiful wife of 55 years, his really good looking and personable...
