"Florida has lost a valued citizen. Billy Larry Cypress, 61, died earlier this month in a South Florida hospital. Cypress was founder and executive director of the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Tribal leader, educator, soldier, scholar, historian are all words that describe Cypress. So do affable, soft-spoken, and honorable."
