To the family, many, many friends, and fans of this great person who played and loved the game of football. Mr. Mr. Charley Taylor was a legendary Washington wide receiver who caught over 600 passes during his Hall of Fame career. He had a wonderful career in football. May you find comfort in your wealth of fond memories together with Mr. Charley Taylor. May the love and many, many special memories you shared with your devoted loved one show how much your life was touched by him. May the God of comfort bless your grieving hearts with strength, loving kindness and peace as the world copes with the loss of Mr. Charley Taylor. We will never forget that Mr. Madden was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1984, what a tremendous goal and accomplishment.

To the Taylor Family, we thank Charley for his football career, but we are most grateful for his spirit. He was a man to model after for so many. We can't all be NFL players, but we can all have a positive impact in the lives of our family and friends. We thank you for all you've done. May you receive the words "well done good and faithful servant".

Awe, Charley... Now in God's arms. You were not just an awesome, incredible athlete whom I loved to watch break tackles, but you were also a good, warm & decent man.
Readers may recall the 1972 NFL Championship game at RFK when many players & staff had the darn flu! Despite many sick players, Skins still won the Championship!!!
To your beautiful family: On behalf of myself and family, please accept our deepest sympathies and love for your husband, dad and grandad.
Respectfully,
Tami Christophel (Plumer)

A LEGEND IN HIS OWN TIME .
LOVING PRAYERS WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO MR.TAYLOR’S FAMILY AND FRIENDS ❤
February 22, 2022
Overcame a life-threatening injury during his college years, and went on to become of the greatest of the greats. Such a standout and model of excellence during his pro years, especially during that strong run that Washington had in the '70s.
Rest in peace, Charley. Washington has had a long list of superlative receivers over the decades, and many (including me) believe that you are the top man in that storied tradition. It was a joy to watch you play!
