Citation Form: Floyd Spence Papers, South Carolina Political Collections, University of South Carolina Copyright: Copyright of the Floyd Spence Papers has been transferred to the University of South Carolina. South Carolina Political Collections Floyd Spence Papers, p. 2 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE His tireless efforts on behalf of our national defense are a testimony to his enduring will to serve and to triumph in the face of adversity. –Gov. Jim Hodges, upon Spence’s death, August 2001 He said he was a common man, but he was a very uncommon man, an extraordinary man. He was tried in his life, many times and in many ways. He endured those trials with grace and no bitterness. –Dr. Seshadri Raju, surgeon in his lung transplant, at Spence’s funeral, Aug. 22, 2001 Floyd was a bit of an anomaly in Washington, a soft-spoken gentle man, who was proudly one of the staunchest hawks in Congress. –Vice President Dick Cheney, at Spence’s funeral Floyd Davidson Spence was born in Columbia on April 9, 1928 to James W. and Addie Lucas Spence. Spence’s father, employed by what would become South Carolina Electric and Gas, settled the family in West Columbia and Lexington, investing in land around newly constructed Lake Murray.
