I met Taylor when I worked with the Virginia Restaurant Association, many years ago, and he was with the Lung Association. I remember him as a kind, friendly person who was always concerned with others. I was sorry to see his name pop up when I scanned the obituaries, as I do frequently, of the Times-Dispatch. My husband and I live in Montana now and don't get back to Virginia much. Please accept our condolences; he was a fine man.

Virginia,

Taylor was among the greats. He was friendly, outgoing and had made a world of friends. He set a high example for us to try and follow. I want you to know that you and your children are on our minds and in our prayers as you try to adjust to new way of life without him. We will miss him.

Sincerely,

Norman D. Graham
