Dear Taylor Family,

I worked with Dave for 5 years at the MRC. Dave always greeted me warmly and we would often talk about our various church involvements. My favorite memory is Dave's love for baking cookies with his family around the Christmas holidays. He loved that family time.

Please accept my deepest sympathy at your loss. Dave is where God's light and love will always shine on him.

Our deepest condolences to the Taylor family. I went to Lehigh with David (graduated in 1972) and was in the same residence hall as him. He was always a very pleasant person to be around. There were several times his senior year (my sophomore) where he took the time to help me with Physics and other subjects, and I appreciated it greatly. Rich Karig always kept me up-to-date with the goingson in the Taylor home.

We hope that time and wonderful memories of David will help your family through this difficult time.

My sympathies go out ot all of you in your time of loss. I always appreciated being welcomed into your home especially at Christmas when Mr.Taylor always proudly displayed all his trains and let the kids (especailly mine) run them... They always had a great time. He will be missed by all at St. Peter's. Our sympathies, Tracie, Alisia & Ciarra.

Dear Taylor family,

It it never easy to lose the life of a father and husband. Dave loved his family and his caring nature continues to show through his family. Only knowing Dave for a couple of years, I can still remember the way he would always say "Hello." Dave always had a positive attitude and he couldn't help but pass it along to you whenever you would talk to him. Our family hearts cry out to you during this time of hardships and joyous memories.

Love and God's healing to you.

The Bleier family

To Barbara & the family. My heartfelt sympathies to you at this time of sorrow. I know it isn't any easier when you know or suspect this time is coming, but we just keep our faith & we know that God takes our loved ones in his hands. Dave is surely there in that spot right now. Just remember the good times you had together & things do get a little easier as time passes. I will remember when Dave was a character in our Mardi Gras shows, the times he was assisting minister, when he read a part in the Passion & also the times I was sitting near him in worship hearing him sing the hymns with all his heart. He was truly a fine man & loved his God. God Bless You All & Give You Peace!

Dave served the manufacturers of not only the Lehigh Valley but the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania during his long tenure with the Manufacturers' Resource Center. May all his friends and family receive peace in knowing that Dave served his God and his Church. Dave is certainly with the Lord in Heaven.

To all the Taylor family, please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I worked with Dave at the MRC for 5 years. When I read the newspaper this morning I was in shock because I can never think of Dave as anything but into the next project and deeply interested in whatever he was working on. I know his family meant a great, great deal to him and that he loved you all very much. I am sure he will be missed by all who shared his life. I hope that time and sweet memories can make this loss manageable for you all.

With my very deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved husband and father. He was a very special, caring person, and I enjoyed working with him at the Manufacturers Resource Center. As time gently eases your grief, may beautiful memories restore the joy that has been taken from your hearts.

On behalf of the Kessler Family we would like to send our condolences. I was one of Mike's best friends in high school and was hoping to see the family again but not in this way. You have our sympathies and our prayers. God Bless you and keep you.
