Retired florist Harold P. Jordan will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday at Christ the King Catholic Church in Dallas.

Mr. Jordan, 84, died of a heart attack Saturday at Parkland Memorial Hospital.

He grew up near Sulphur Springs and moved to Dallas during the late 1930s.

Mr. Jordan worked at several floral shops through the late 1940s, when he founded The House of Flowers at 2431 N. Haskell Ave. He kept the shop open until he retired in 1974.

But even then he couldn't stay away from the floral business, said his nephew Neil Jordan.

"Whenever some florist he knew would get in a bind in the busy season, he would jump and go help them," Neil Jordan said. "When friends or relatives passed away, he would always handle the flowers."

Mr. Jordan is survived by his sister, Dorothy Beckham of Tyler; and brothers Maurice Jordan of Pine Forest, Texas, and Jake Jordan of Borger, Texas.
