Mrs Taylor, Anne, Rosemary, Joe, and Chrissy,
As best I can recall, I first met Mr. Taylor about 50+ years ago when you lived in the apartment on Allen Street. As I write this, I am hard pressed to think of anybody else's Dad who was as pleasant and engaging with the kids as Mr. Taylor. As a kid, you knew that if you saw Mr. Taylor riding shotgun in the big NYSEG truck, that he'd always give a smile and wave. He had a quiet confidence and moral strength about him that I never truly appreciated until I had kids of my own. His humility probably prevented him from appreciating what a great role model he was as both a father and husband for those of us who had the privilege of knowing him. I will fondly remember his example and please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
